Busted Denon 5K headphones

Thread Starter 
So I ran into a problem with my Denon 5Ks. The screw that goes from the driver to the headband broke. Is there any way to fix this without using rubber bands or tape? I'll also try to upload some pics of the damage as well.

Not a whole lot of info there, seeing as there are a few parts between the driver (the part that moves air and makes sound) and the headband (the only part that makes contact with the top of your head), but someone did have a similar thread about replacing a screw on his D2000.

 

EDIT: found them

There's another one with better pics, I believe.  I'll let you find it.

Most of the time this is not breakage, but simply a nut and bolt coming undone. If you are careful, and dont loose any pieces, the headphones can be put back together without making them look steampunkt-ugly.

 

Pop the chrome cap off with a long and slender implement. 

Fish out the nut, spring, and any washers (there may be no washers, Its been foreverlong since i fixed my Denons.)

put it back together. Use a drop of locktite.
