Echo Posted November 7, 2023 Report Share Posted November 7, 2023 My PC disconnect thumb button was pretty easy to "pull out" of my '66 yoke. My '65 was NOT coming out and I didn't want to force it. What is procedure to remove? Thanks, Scott Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Utah20Gflyer Posted November 7, 2023 Report Share Posted November 7, 2023 Mine was firm but I was always able to pull it. If you can’t fit a small screw driver under the lip (apply tape to tip first) then my only other recommendation would be to try to use some high quality double sided tape and another object of appropriate size and shape to pull it straight out. I have one other idea that might be a little extreme. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RLCarter Posted November 7, 2023 Report Share Posted November 7, 2023 The o-ring gets stuck, add 1 drop of penetrating oil every few days until you can pull it out, mine was pretty crapped up and that was what worked for me. I would imagine you could damage the flange around the outside of the button fairly easy, so use minimal force and your better off prying in 2 spots 180° apart from each other 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Echo Posted November 7, 2023 Author Report Share Posted November 7, 2023 Good suggestions. Thanks. Just wanted to make sure it was a diaphram like the '66 that did indeed pull out. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Luckily you know how it exits - I ended up breaking mine because I was wedging against the outer sheath not realizing it was going to come out with the button. Snagged a replacement on eBay and haven't looked back. You'll get there. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Echo Posted November 16, 2023 Author Report Share Posted November 16, 2023 Anyone install a Push to talk in the thumb hole for the PC disconnect? What button did you use? Photos? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dick Denenny Posted November 16, 2023 Report Share Posted November 16, 2023 Mine will be finished next week. I pulled some wires out of the dash and am not sure of the connection so am having a radio guy connect for me. But this is what I ended up with after buying a few the wrong size. https://www.amazon.com/DIYhz-Button-Self-locking-Switches-Latching/dp/B07XT6K5B8?pd_rd_w=d40ej&content-id=amzn1.sym.d1bf6bee-b588-4538-8422-ca1ad75c6390&pf_rd_p=d1bf6bee-b588-4538-8422-ca1ad75c6390&pf_rd_r=5PD971SFETV9K9MJ0QF3&pd_rd_wg=JYzFC&pd_rd_r=094fbc2f-00b8-4296-91a6-36d32ae156f1&pd_rd_i=B07XT6K5B8&psc=1&ref_=pd_bap_d_grid_rp_0_1_ec_i Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I have not read this whole topic but, if it's just a switch, I think the voltage and current ratings are telling you what it will tolerate -- not required. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
