And the wire that was going over, very taut, is unsoldered.
So its end over the cap can me moved.
Then (drum roll, please!) a bend of the cap and a bend of the plate above and....the cap's out!
Gutted. Potted.
And (with some difficulties...it is always easier to pull it out then to push it in) it is back in it's cilynder.
And the wire is soldered back.
Then the bracket is put back. Putting screws back was a challenge...good thing I have small hands.
Whew!
People who do not drink, do not smoke, do not eat red meat will one day feel really stupid lying there and dying from nothing.
