Re: removing Sierra coils from laminations?

[jerry-ahrens]

The newer Sierra coils don’t have the metal tab, but the plastic ribs that you mentioned. I usually support the coil over the open jaws of a bench vise, and drive the coil off with a 1/4 inch socket extension. Be carefull you don’t damage the small primary wires of the new coil. It’s easy to do if you aren’t paying attention. I’ve did several this way and never had any coil damage. I’ve used a little Crazy Glue [super glue] on some of the Elgin [Wico] laminates to secure the coil to the laminates.
