Perry, David, & Earl...  Thanks for your help with the turn signal
indicators.   Looks like it's a matter of being gentle and lucky...  Very
lucky.,...

In the meantime, I need to extract the temperature sensing bulb from the
block, and I need to split the choke cable at the block.

Is a cresent wrench sufficient to remove the temperature sensing bulb from
the block, or do I need a special tool to remove it?

I loosed the cable stop in the choke block, and I thought the choke cable
would pull free pretty easily, but the choke cable is not pulling free
yet.   I don't think I'd have to complete pull the cable stop apart, but
maybe I do?

Thanks...  these are the last three things I need to undo before
refinishing the dash.

- Tom

Good luck with turn signal indicators. Don=E2=80=99t have them, so =
can=E2=80=99t comment.

=20

The temperature sensor:-

I=E2=80=99ve heard that people cut a slot in a socket, put it on, put a =
Jubilee clip or two around the socket and there=E2=80=99s the tool.

Never tried that and preferred cutting a slot in a ring spanner. A =
tip=E2=80=A6.the first spanner broke at once. You need to cut it per the =
attached. That way, most of the torque(?) goes onto nut rather than onto =
the cut shoulder=E2=80=A6.if I make myself clear. First time, I put the =
spanner on, then put something on as a bit of extra leverage.

Good luck,

Simon

Hi Tom,

IIRC, I used a flare nut wrench to get the temp sensor nut off at the block.
You'll round it off with a Crescent wrench most likely and then have bigger
problems.  It's been a long time since I replaced mine, but IIRC a ready
made flare nut wrench worked fine.
