    • Carefully pull the circuit breaker away from the panel.

    • This may require a significant amount of force. Take care as the circuit breaker is still wired to the rest of the generator.

    • Take note of where each cable connects to the breaker for reassembly.

    • It can be helpful to disconnect and reconnect one cable at a time to the new circuit breaker to maintain cable management and prevent mix ups.

I have a Honda gen. EM500SK. It has two double outlet GFCI (total 4 110v plugs). These are sensitive to current/voltage fluctuations and in my case I need at least one of these to be a standard no GFIC which is more reliable than the current outlets. Any idea if I can purchase non GFIC outlets from an earlier model of generator and fit them to my current generator?
