The user agrees to the following terms:

All information that you provide to us for your membership is correct.
You will not use your membership to spam, harrass, or exploit other members in any way.
Vulgar, Abusive, Racist and Sexist Language will not be tolerated.
Commercial-type sales postings will not be allowed.
No mass posting or flooding of the boards is allowed.
No Advertising of parts or cars; no Ebay or business/commercial ads (please use the "Classified" for ads Wanted or For Sale).
VIEWING MULTIPLE TOPICS ON SCREEN: You can choose to see more than 10 Topics at a time ... Log In and choose "Preferences" from the top bar on the Forum page. Scroll down and Change the "Default Topics Returned" parameter to 25 or 50, and save the changes. Since this setting is stored in your browser 'cookies' (if enabled), it seems to use that stored value even if you are not logged in. So, if you use a PC that you haven't logged into the forum from, the setting still seem to remain at the default.
EXTERNAL PHOTO LINKS ON FORUM: You can still use external photo links in your posts on the new forum. They follow the rules of any link in that they have to have the URL link qualified down to the full image file name (example: .jpg). The links will open in a new browser window, the same as an uploaded image attached to a post. Since an image attachment to any post does not display inline with the post, the results are the same. You can use multiple external links within a post. This link is from photos on a site from Don Clink's 'Deuce@75' albums:

Using links from photo sites such as Photobucket can help in "size" issue with uploaded attachment files. For best viewing in web browsers, photos should be around the 800x600 pixel range, and probably not more than 1024x768. Most cameras today store HUGE jpg image files, as the default settings are in the 7, 8, 10, and 12Mb image sizes. The image files that are then attached are very large, and the browser can't display the full image size without using the scroll bars. Use the re-sizing functions of your photo editing software to reduce the image to 800x600, which reduces the file sixe and the image load time in the browser. Don uses Google's free Picassa3 software, which is an excellent photo management product. All of the photo albums of the Deuce, Grand National, and Auburn that are links on the NORG site were built using Picassa's web creation functions. And it's free? (THANKS to Don Clink for the info!)

The knob unscrews from the rod. It is easier to remove the knob and then separate the halves of the case than to disconnect the rod from the defroster link.

Then you can separate the 2 halves of the case, then remove the screws holding the clamps that fit around the pipes and remove the clamps. Remove the defroster tubes. The back half of the case should now come off of the core.

Ted,
Thank you for the information. I will take the knob off and proceed. I was not sure if it pulled off or not. The heaters are almost the same.

I'm not sure if your heater is like the ones used in 41 and 42. I'm pretty sure it is similar. If so the rod that controls the defroster has a spring loaded end over a ball so it can be disconnected there to remove the front. If you still need to remove the knob the one on mine was threaded and just unscr*w*d.

Hope this helps
Ted

40 Ford heater is leaking and I need to take out the core for repair. Does the ivory colored knob require removal from the defrost control to remove the shroud? I do not want to destroy a very good original knob if I can avoid it. Old timers is kicking in because I have removed the core in years past and don't remember the procedure. How is the knob removed or am I going about this wrong?
