To remove the solenoid you have to rotate it about 90 deg in order to pull it out.

Phils38cpe,
Thank you. That sounds so much easier than the procedure in the manual!

No need to energize the solenoid to remove it. On the R-9 version the solenoid is tilted towards the rear of the car and the rod should come free of the pawl. To install, the solenoid must be energized as mentioned or by other means and reverse the tilt procedure.

This picturehttps://packardinfo.com/xoops/html/modules/newbb/viewtopic.php?post_id=28018#forumpost28018 and this report from another forum might help with the governor wrench. He also had a 41 and was having troubles with removing governor in place without the proper wrench.

My latest post seemed to gotten lost in cyber space. I'm not up on an R9 OD solenoid. I have an R11 any you only have to rotate the unit to remove it

Phil, You are correct if the unit is an R-11, it is just that since the Packard in question is a 1941 I am assuming it has the R-9 version hence my additional information. Sorry if I seem pedantic.

Thanks to all-
Yes, it is an R-9. This helps, since I need to pull this to see what it looks like. If I can't get it to energize, then I'll be in the market for a replacement.

One thing to look for when you reinstall the solenoid is to be certain the spacer is on correctly. The hole for the rod and the two screw holes are slighly offset and the spacer will go one either way but if on incorrectly it will bind on the rod preventing the rod from moving. The "plunger seal" within the spacer must also not be binding on the rod.

Clipper47,
This is good to know. I don't see a spacer referenced in the manual and did not know there was one present. Is it actually like a gasket material, or metal? I assume this will all come off as a unit so I can mark it or otherwise note the correct position. I do see what looks like a small, somewhat thin gasket when I look at the assembly on the car.
