Hey folks, I was wondering if anyone has had to deal with a stuck headlight (in the down position) on my T/A and what means you went through to get the dang thing out... my headlight motor is most definitely shot, and the bearings inside the unit apparently are gone too because spinning the **** will not raise the headlight. I have no way of getting the whole unit out to replace the motor and I ordered and recieved a new motor! Kinda stuck on this one to be honest, any suggestions?

 

pretty easy to remove it. 3 long thin bolts. 10mm IIRC. i always use a wrench on those.

also u'll have to remove the nut on the linkage from the motor to the headlight.

 

Yeah, i finally got it, the motor linkage was stuck, so the headlight was not moving at all, i decided to remove the 3 bolts to the motor and pull the whole assembly out, then i realized the two bolts attaching the assembly to the frame were there, what a pain in the butt it was to get those out. But I finally got it all out and reassembled in about an hour. My headlight works again!... Thanks for the reply!

 

yeh those bolts are a pain the **** to get to. I rebuilt my motors a few months back and when i was done it looked like i was a cutter (wrist was all cut) from screwing the bolts
