I have two of them apart. I tried using pliers but the grip wasn’t good enough. I thought about using a vice but that leads to obvious dangers…..

Thanks Mike.

Wuz just about to answer your earlier query about that! You use a mating socket in the Tx or junction box to provide the locking power. The manual has the directions.

How in blazes do you get there critters apart?

I figure there’s a screw under the rotating collar, but I’ve not been successful in getting the collar off. I didn’t find anything in the manual…. Here’s a photo of two of the connectors….

Thanks.
