Hey Y'all
So I am getting into these Hideaway Headlamps there are all kinds of screwed up things going on But most importantly (because its what I don't know) is about the spring & the Actuators
the headlamp doors don't go up & they stay down.

I borrowed a smoke pot from a friend . Until I can buy my own.

Hooked up the smoke pot to the main coming off the carb ,worked the headlamp switch ,checked the canister & the actuators , & nothing. then with the grills removed I put the smoker on the top of the actuators & both leak out the shafts.

I also rigged up myself a super sucker from my A/C vacuum pump thru a old R~12 Manifold so I can test/ suck things like bleeding brakes & what not.

I was test / sucking the actuator on Pass side & it sucked up old dirty rusty crunchy water out of it.

So I am thinking they are done

Will someone please direct me to the thread or article on how to deal with these my searching has not been fruitful.

Any & all help is greatly appreciated.
