Don't worry about the coax. My method to deal with the coax nipples as I call them is take a hammer, an whack the hell out of it(it breaks off easy). You should find a gold wire(likely plated, dunno for sure yet..but it's gold!) when you do inside it. The rest is easy peasy. Use a flat head or something similar to get through the glue type stuff, a torx screw driver or phillips will get the panel off. I use a hammer an chisel to get into the panel an pry up enough to break the suction, an then pull it up with my fingers or a flat head. Once inside it's nothing but torx usually.



Good luck, an glad could point out something else for you to look for. I should probably break one down with pics..maybe I'll get a sticky! Haha!

I searched lnb and found tons of info. Also a couple breakdown threads with pics so looks like u got beat to it. If I wasn't on a smartpadtouchphonecyborg hootenanny i'd take a crack at posting the links. Yet technology often evades the grasp of my tiny brain. Bam shredpile. Edit: everything on the screens so small I can't locate a thanks button. So thanks to everyone on this and all the other lnb threads!

Yea, buncha threads on them, couple from me, mech an trot, that I recall off hand.

Make friends with your local sat guy, it does pay off.

now that I think about it, I just tore apart two smaller versions of these from direct tv... I'll have to snap the housing off of them though. I'll post pics next time I'm in the garage.

And don't forget that the case is usually cast and can go in the alum. pile.

Mech do you find the gold wire's in the coax nipples to? Usually under the sheathing when you break off the coax part.

Love me these things.
