1926/7 swivel on the carburetor

Post by Mopar_man » Thu Nov 19, 2020 6:54 pm

So I'm trying to remove the universal joint on the top of the carburetor. I can see that it has screw slots on each side. The slots for the screws look like I need a watchmakers screwdriver to get them out. Is that how you do it. Do the screws just go into the X block?

So, I mean, like, just gently pry it apart, right?

I was thinking that's what you did but then I saw that it came apart. Just didn't want to force it.

I believe they are making new u-joints for those. I've still got plenty of the old original pot metal ones.
