I threaded a new wire through a different side block with a magnet and clamped it under a microscope. It was hard, but eventually, I was able to do it by holding the wire on both sides of the side block with weights.

The dented wire was discarded and the side block that was mounted on the AS1 adapter was put aside. I mounted the side block with the new wire on the AS1 adapter.

Anchal and I hanged the AS1 adapter and clamped the wires on the winches of an SOS tower. I balanced the roll and adjusted the height of the magnet with respect to a side OSEM using a camera (attachments 1 & 2).

I shoot the Hene laser on the optic and look at the reflection. I align the laser beam to be as close as possible to the center of the mirror. The OpLev needs to be realigned.

To my surprise, the ghost beam shoots up above the reflected beam! See attachment 3. I check to see that the arrow which marks the thinnest side of the mirror is horizontal (attachment 4). WTF?!

Also, now I realize that the marking on the Lambda optics are pencil markings 😵😵😵.
