Horn Fix

[Lip Ripper]

61 horn fix. I noticed that the tin cover on my dead horn was just held on by tab's. So I removed it, turned the adjuster nut down until the points opened slightly, then cleaned them with emory cloth. I backed the nut off until the points made contact again, no luck. So, I grabbed my jeweler's hammer and smacked the stud on the end (that goes into the coil) while giving it power and it free'd up. Yes!

Good to know they are fixable.

I have a friend whose standard procedure to fix anything that doesn't respond to common sense and tools is to bang it with his fist. Amazingly, I've actually seen it work sometimes. His last name is Benfield, and his friends refer to it as "The Benfield Method". Maybe we should call your technique "The Ripper Rap".

Bam bam!! Who DOESN’T own more types of hammers than any other tool??

I do have 5 hammer's in my automotive tool box and that small jewelers hammer is quite useful. I bought it for working on stainless trim but find myself picking it up quite often.

I gotta try this. I have a box full of old horns that are dead. And plenty of hammers...precision and otherwise

Maybe Gallagher and his sledgomatic might be able to make a little side money.
