taking apart the coil on cowtown 10k ??

[BOOTY MONSTER]

got some noalox and figgured id use some on my 10k . im wondering if the actual coil wrapping comes off its black former/shaft section though . i got the lil hex screws out the top and bottom . but . using just hand strength i cant get the coil to budge . i wanted to take it all apart for a good cleaning and then reassemble with the noalox on all connections .

will the coils come off without damaging them ? or are they press fitted or something that either i need something special to remove them or that ill most likely dammage the antenna trying to get them off ?

im not expect any performance difference , just want to do a good cleaning and reassembly for a warm fuzzy feeling .

thanks .

The ends of the coil are deformed when tightening of the allen head set screw on either end of the predator 10-k making it next to impossible to remove the coil ends after construction so if you do manage to get them out then you're fortunate.

Yep what Mack said...When Kale puts those set-screws in, it bends the end of the coil making it next to impossible to remove without bending the coil all out of shape.
