Hi Ken,

Before replacing the relay, you might try using contact burnisher strips to
clean any oxidation from the points inside the relay:

Worth a shot rather than paying to replace with a repro.  Your solution to
get through the air hose sounds like it should work.

Happy Healeying,
Rick

Ken, it's mostly just relays and terminals in the box. Try cleaning them up
before investing in new...

I can't remember having to cut the hose to get access, so I'm wondering if
you can get it to move by loosening all of it's mounts?

Finally, I think I remember being able to remove a relay box with the hose
in place by working across the car from the other side. It was painfully
slow, but doable, especially when using something to keep my body weight
off the fender.

Good luck on your mission!

I can remove the control box on my BT7 without cutting the duct so you shou=
ld be able to do so on your BJ8. However, it is difficult to do. As mention=
ed by Rick, the points should be cleaned. The contact distance between the =
points should be checked and adjusted.
