Replacing the top connection on the BUZZ




To replace the top cap remove the atty and adapters , unscrew the top cap ( make sure the center screw does not rotate if it does loosen it first ) there is a screw and wire on the bottom side unscrew this wire connection replace the cap with the new one and screw it back together ( do NOT over tighten it the ring terminal can break ) screw the top cap back on to the unit , and re tighten the center screw if needed

THanks to Ruppy !!!

I am adding a picture tutorial for replacing the top cap

First you will see the following image again. I am starting with it to highlight its importance!

STEP 1

Your top cap
Loosen the top screw 1 turn

Step 2
Unscrewing the cap

Step 3
Opening it up
Carefully lift the cap after it is unthreaded. REMEMBER there is a wire attached.

Step 4
Removing the wire
HOLD the connector and remove the screw

Now swap caps and reverse the instructions to reassemble.

That's great instructions on replacing the topcap Mike.

I always loosen the center screw a bit before unscrewing the top cap...Then when the caps are switched I snug it back down.....Snug not locked down!!

Just pulled the 510 and installed the 801 native...Yep....Getting my Fusion groove on for a while...No 1/2 inch adapter needed!!!!!!!!!!!

Great idea LD, I should do that too.

It keeps the wire from rotating when screwing the cap back on....That's the first cap change for the Silver Buzz....The black one in LandLord's possession was changed many times....with no damage too the wire....I've got adapters....extra length really gets on my last nerve though....

I got adapters that are only about a quarter inch LD.

El D always knows how to take the appropriate shortcut to good success. Ya done good Dee..... Those Fusions now live on my Buzz.

I was going to but I use V2 510s and Mega 808s too and my adapters are all 901/808 based. I have another Buzz though so I guess I could put the 801 top on it.

 

[FranC]

Is it easy to do?? I'm not mechanically inclined. Thinking of getting a 808 top cap for my Buzz so I can have one native 808 VV. My Infinity is on it's way back to Cal. for some long needed repairs.

 

[Ruppy]

If you can run a screwdriver its super easy Fran No doubt you could do it.

 

[FranC]

Ah! I can do that quite well. OK I fibbed. I am somewhat mechanically inclined.

 

[5cardstud]

There's nothing to it Fran. You can do it.

 

[FranC]

I'm sure I can. Maybe I'll just order one and change it when I get my Infinity back.

This would be worth a YouTube video. Frankly, I'd rather watch that than somebody's German Shepard catching a Frisbee.

 

[5cardstud]

So you didn't like the vid of my German Shepard catching a Frisby? Was it the dog or the Frisby you didn't like?

 

[BuzzKill]

Fran the MAIN thing is to HOLD the ring terminal that has the wire in it and NOT THE WIRE itself ! that way you will not break the wire .

 

[FranC]

OK I guess I find the ring terminal when the top is detached then??

 

[BuzzKill]

Yes it is on the end of the wire Fran , the screw goes through it .

 

[FranC]

Kidding-I knew that. LOL. I just got 2 tracking numbers for my order. Does that mean my Infinity's on the way back?????

Must be , the dummies did not notice the same shipping address so I guess you get 2 packages ???
