[RE-wrenches] outback fx service work

[Bob-O Schultze]

Todd,
For sure take it off the wall and listen to the other Wrench responses as well. Good advice. When I took an OB Service Tech class back when the FX first came out they warned us that while it was "possible" to do it while mounted, it was a bad idea. While the circuit boards are in rails to keep them in alignment, it's a loose fit and it's very hard to get the case back on without mucho grief.
This isn't the first bad tech advice I've heard of from OB recently. I just got some of that yesterday. Basically, the guy didn't know the answer to my question and just made shit up. Not good.

wrenches,

i have a customer with a failed air (xmfr) temp sensor inside their gvfx3648. when ordering a replacement, i was bitching about having to unwire the unit and remove it from the wall (60 pounds is heavier than it used to be) to accomplish the repair... the tech said most people do these projects with the unit still mounted. i have previously heard this was a huge hassle as the boards do not easily line up when the unit is not flat on its back.

whats the wrench experience? take it off the wall, or do the repair with it still mounted?

thanks,

todd
