Howard - Thank you!! That's the information I was looking for but seemed to be absent from the manual. Having never done this before it's nice to have a step-by-step to walk me through it. I'll check with the local auto parts stores to see if they have a puller that works. I talked to a guy yesterday who works at one and he said they should. If not, then I'll order the one from Amazon.
The diagram is very helpful also. Once I get access to the switch I will get it all cleaned up and hopefully that will restore function.
Paul - the header is tacked into place in a couple spots, but we ran out of welding wire and time (picture below). Then with Labor Day and my friend's house being threatened by wildfire, he hasn't been able to make it back over for a couple weeks. I'm cautiously hoping that we can get the rest of the welding done this Monday. It's a very slow and arduous process. If I were to do it over again I probably would've just replaced the entire roof like Don suggested early in the thread.
Wes - Good to know about a second option. Shouldn't be hard to get a puller, and the one shown was pretty inexpensive.
