The horn wire is part of the mast jacket bushing. The mast jacket bushing is near the top of the mast jacket and it is pressed into the mast jacket from the top. It should be pressed out in the same direction. _________________________ The Mangy Old Mutt "If It's Not Junk.....It's Not Treasure!"

karl31 Backyard Mechanic Registered: 05/18/03 Posts: 266 Loc: Hawthorne, New York	The directions in Jim Barnhart's link are perfect. I used a broom stick from the bottom to push out the bushing. You should replace both the bushing and wire. _________________________ karl
