How to remove stars AA'd onto heatsink!

lukestephens777 · Nov 8, 2006

farout! I just realised i've stuffed the way i put my three Lux III's on the PTS heatsink! Havent got the +'s and -'s in the right spots! Is there anyway to remove the stars from the heatsink? They are epoxied on with aa! Can i use heat? maybe on the underside of the heatsink?

Thanks in advance!

Nevermind...This is my 1st trilux attempt! Ill just use a tiny bit of wire to get to the right spot. Anyone know where i can get some teflon coated wire? Also do i have to use pieces of stripped wire to bridge between pos and neg between two stars? Or can i just bridge it with a narrow strip of solder?

I have popped stars of a tri-sink after they have been AA's on with a screwdriver.

As for bridging with solder. It won't work you need to use a piece of wire.
