Do you mean taking out the secondary windings out to replace them? If so, you can just hacksaw the windings and pull them out.

For ballast, light bulbs work, high wattage for more current draw.

Use a 25A bridge rectafier on a heatsink and a 10,000uf smoothing cap.

Could I use four of these high speed glass passivated diodes for a bridge rectifier.
