how to you get a frozen horizontal width coil loose? i got a 4900 stuck and chad at arcadecup says he's working on it but no avail yet. tried turning it both directions with a alignment tool and it wont budge.
Usually if they are that stuck, there's not much you can do. Too much force and it'll just break the core. I have broken stuck cores completely out and then been able to finess a new core into them, but you take the chance of getting the new core stuck. You're better off just replacing the coil assembly.
With everything unpluged use a standard steel Alan wrench, it will break it free. Sometimes it will take the core with it, Sometimes not. I think Bob Roberts sells the whole thing if it breaks.
Best of luck on your project.

wont budge even with an allen wrench. it can't get a good grip, doesnt fit properly. i have 2 sets of different size allen wrenchs and none fit...i guess i'll just wait for the repros.
Fudd,
I went down and checked in my scrap pile, and found a 4900 with a good width coil, core is nice and free.
PM me your mailing address, and I'll get it out to you, or if your out near Mattawan/Lawton you can stop in and pick up.
