[QUOTE="RossKean, post: 1333282, member: 19880"] This thread will be useful for removing plastics!!! [URL="https://www.fjrforum.com/forum//index.php/topic/116788-gen-ii-plastic-and-cowling-removal/?hl=plastic"]https://www.fjrforum.com/forum//index.php/topic/116788-gen-ii-plastic-and-cowling-removal/?hl=plastic[/URL] Keep in mind that a "spider" may look perfectly good from the outside and still be a problem. I had one (S6, I think) that looked SLIGHTLY darkened on part of the outside. When I removed the 6-legged connector from the socket, one of the legs appeared to be a bit heat-tarnished but otherwise OK - definitely not burned. I cleaned it up with some fine emery paper followed by isopropyl alcohol. Reassembled it using a bit of silicone grease. That lasted about two weeks until I had to proceed with the major surgery (cut, strip and solder). [/QUOTE]
