Removing rubber boot form LSH-P Kroll Switch

merlperl · Nov 17, 2003

Hi all!

I have read the very detailed and excellent post by Peter on Kroll Switch Maintenance. However, the only small detail that seems to have been overlooked is...how do you remove the rubber cover?

I know it must be obvious and easy...but I do not want to take the chance of tearing it up.

So can anyone tell me how to do this? Is there a small lip on the rubber boot?

Step by step instructions would be greatly appreciated or, even better, pictures!

Thanks in advance!

if you've already removed the kroll switch, simply pull the rubber boot off the switch. it should come off easily since the rubber is pretty stretchy. the rubber boot is held onto the switch by a lip on the switch itself, so stretching the boot over it will free it up.

if you haven't removed the kroll switch, gripping the rubber boot and using the ridges on the switch inside, turn it counter-clockwise and it will unscrew /ubbthreads/images/graemlins/smile.gif

Yeah, just pull it off, the rubber is actually pretty thick and won't tear most likely.

Awsome, you guys ar great and I really appreciate the replies.

I wouln'd have thought to unscrew it...I was going to just try to pull the rubber off!

I am glad I posted here, and I just took the switch off, thanks to you!

Love this place...

Now I know what you were asking. I had this same question just a couple of months ago and it took a while to figure it out. I dug through quite a few threads just to find one small mention of screwing the thing off - there was a lot more on how to fix it once it's out. Seems easy once you find that out, doesn't it?
