Any tips for separating the pot from the head?

one side came apart easy,one side stuck

I aren't doing it and the mecanic doesn't want to use brute force,

any help International bright young things?

Hi Wal,
If you have a vice, hold the bottom of the pot in a vice.
Use some cloth so you dont mark the pot.
(If your putting in new pots it doesnt matter how you treat it)

Careful with the heads.
Tap the bottom of the head with a mallet, careful as it is all fins.
Gentle taps all the way round it, should come off.
Hope this helps

Cheers Pete

Passed it on

thanks again

Wal,
another method, which avoids any chance of damaging the fins (or the barrel) is to use a length of timber, sitting _inside_ the barrel, as a drift.

Hold the assembly upside down by gripping the barrel with one hand and clout the drift with a hammer, altering the point at which the drift contacts the head to prevent the top spigot from tilting as the head starts separating from the barrel.

Make sure that there's something soft for the cylinder head to land on when it lets go...

Ken.

must admit Ken, a better solution

Thanks again beards

What about brake lights on a 72 dyane ? bulbs check,switch check,fuses check, pissed off check

Ideas ?

Is it a Dyane 4 or 6!
are other rear lights OK Check earth/corrision in the lamp holder

dyane 6
all other rear lights work fine
bulb holder is fine

With lights on, in the boot, swap, side/brake light, brake light should come on

Cheers Pete
Done the power swap thing and the bulbs light up,so Im guessing no feed to the stop light system?

Is an extended waving arm still a recognised signal for braking across europe ?
