1956 Mark 25 Coil replacement.

1956 Mark 25 Coil replacement. Is there a trick to removing an old coil from its Stator. Is there a small tab that holds the coil in place on the Stator? The coils in this motor might be OEM and aren't budging or I'm doing something wrong. Can someone share a page from a service manual?.

Is the old coil scrap ?----If yes then I would cut it off.----Slide the replacement on.

racerone, They are scrap. I pulled out the windings and got it off. The tab I was talking about is welded to the stator. Thanks for your reply.

Is there more stuff to be cleaned off the laminations ??

Yes, after removing the copper wire there was a cardboard tube that needed to be removed from the laminations. I test fitted coil and it seems to fit and line up ok. Now I need new spark plug wires and do the other side.

And was the tab actually welded on ?

Yes spot welded.
