manual heater bypass valve
Is there a trick to getting the cables off of the little plastic arms and then back on the replacement unit?
I made a bit of a mess of the cable on the donor at PnP getting the valve off and don't want to repeat that mistake on my car.

What you need to do is squeeze the coil of wire on the lever with pliers to give it some back torque, allowing it to expand enough so you can remove it.

I tried that on the PnP car, but there is a flare at the end of the peg that the wire coils on that I couldn't seem to get over.
Someone recommended cutting the plastic peg on the trashed valve, which would work, just still not sure how to get it on the replacement.

Its been a while but I think I got enough back torque to slip it over that raised part because I replaced that valve on my 79 240. Dont remember just what type of "squeezers" I used.

ok, That did it...kind of a squeeze with a little wrist flick and it came off pretty easily. Snapped right back onto the replacement peg.
Thanks again Steve!
