    DO NOT SIGN UP USING hotmail, outlook, gmx, sbcglobal, att, bellsouth or email.com. They delete our forum signup emails.

    A note to old forum members...
    I receive numerous requests from people who can no longer log in because their accounts were deleted. As mentioned in the forum FAQ, user accounts are deleted if you haven't logged in for the past 6 months. If you can't log in, then create a new forum account. If you don't get an error message, then check your email account for an activation message. If you get a message stating that the email address is already in use, then your account still exists so follow the instructions in the forum FAQ for resetting your password.

    Have you forgotten your password or have a new email address? Then read the forum FAQ for details on how to reset it.

    Any email requests for "can't log in anymore" problems or "lost my password" problems will be deleted. Read the forum FAQ and follow the instructions there - that's what we have one for...

  • Returning Visitors

    If you are a returning visitor who never received your confirmation email, then odds are your email provider is blockinig emails from our server. The only thing that can be done to get around this is you will have to try creating another forum account using an email address from another domain.

    If you are a returning visitor to the forum and can't log in using your old forum name and password but used to be able to then chances are your account is deleted. Purges of the databases are done regularly. You will have to create a new forum account and you should be all set.

How do you get the back part of the starter button asembly off in this earlier style unit?toally messed up the one on my 78 1000 and don't want to do it again.The "new" one is off a 77 400 and I need to repaint it.
 
We need a clearer picture

From the looks of it there is a spring that you may be able to compress towards the button. It seems this would release pressure from the tabe with the wired allowing you to slide it out.

The button should more or less fall into the housing at that point

beware the spring launching into space.
 
To add just a bit. There is usually a mound of solder that the spring centers on, keeping the plate in place. Use a small pick to hook the spring and slide it forward. Then you will be able to slide the plate/wires out of the slot. As JR stated, the spring will attempt to go to the same place your spare sox end up, so be careful.
 
OK I messed it up big time the last time I tried it that way.The bottom of the slot caught on the button pin and took it off.Camera is having a heck of a time getting a clearer pic to:mad:
 
I was using the macro setting as the super macro disables the flash:eek:.As it's sunny today:

I got some better pics.But I hope it's just a case of pulling back the spring and carefully prying up the back.
 
WOOOOOO HOOOOOO!!!!!!Pulled back the spring and just push the rear plate up,slick as can be.How'd I mess it up so bad the first time:confused::mad:
