Need advice on Cone Removal

[Skulldigger]

I picked up a Federal TS100 A1 series speaker today. I want to refub it and need to remove the cone and mounting bracket. Anyone have any good advice for removing a stuck cone? I tried gripping it by hand and it won't budge. Afraid to put too much pressure on it yet until I get some experience advice.

First I've heard of a stuck one. I've always been able to just hold the cone and firmly turn it counter-clockwise. Maybe you can manage to squirt a lubricant like WD-40 into the threads with a flexible tube, and let it soak a bit.

got it. The WD 40 worked better than I thought it would.

That is good to hear about the WD-40.
WD-40 is more of a lubricant and water repellent product than as a corrosion remover.

5-56 and similar products is better on that.

WD-40 is more of a lubricant

WD-40 is the opposite of a lubricant. In fact, it makes a reasonable degreaser.

I did not explain what I ment with a lubricant.
It is used as a help for installing packing material into packing boxes on pumps at my work.
It is only for temporary lubrication.
It do not stay on the parts for long so it is a bad lubricant for long time usage.

WD-40 is, to my knowledge, invented as a water repellant product and nothing else but can be used for other things also.

What I tried to say was, that there are some much better products that are for corrosion dissolving/removal.

Yes, I agree. WD-40 is useful in this way only in the short term.

Kroil works best for me, it attacks the corrosion very well!
