Well I spent a few weeks reading through the ARRL ham radio license guide and doing the online tests at several sites and sat for the Technician exam on 10/12 and scored 100%. Now on to the General....:smile:
Nothing to fancy. A plain old butane/MAP torch will do. Heat it just enough that the plastic starts to ooze from the injection holes and you should be able to drive/press it out.
Just a thought. But if that is the original “U” joint than GM used a injected plastic to lock it in place. A dead give away is the fact that there is no internal or external clip to remove. The only way to remove them is to heat each ear of the yoke enough to soften the plastic and press/drive...
Thanks for the link. I think I'll get an extra 1 or 2 just in case. I just like the rotating style beacon compared to the strobes. The strobe style lights remind me of a kids Christmas toy. To each their own when it comes to light choice.
Glad to be of help. Hope you have a keeper and don't need to pour much more into it. As these units hit the 40+ years old they do tend to need more and more TLC. There is a certain “cool” factor to these old units compared to the Harry Homeowner new stuff but there is a point where you just have...

I believe that there are one or two pieces that might need pressed but any local shop can do it quick and cheap and no reason to pay shop labor rates to pull it apart. Also a good reason to add to the tool collection if finances permit. I had to pull the engine in my pickup to replace the piston...
If you have a decent set of tools and know which end of the screwdriver to hold you shouldn't have any problem. They are just a synchronized manual transmission with ever so slightly larger parts than a pickup transmission. Download TM9-2520-246-34-1. It covers the disassembly and reassembly of...
