Gas tube stuck

[Bob Sanders]

Got troubles. The gas tube is stuck in my FSB. Yes the pin is out. Any ideas? Soak with liquid wrench? Heat? Help!

Use a pair of pliers to wiggle it free. Spray some WD40 if it gives you trouble. If it gets damaged (it shouldn't. I've done it many times) its like $15 to replace.

I've also clamped a pair of pliers on there then tapped the pliers with a hammer in the direction i want the tube to go to knock it loose.

Thanks! I learned long ago if I'm having trouble to step away and ask or think on it.

The first thing Matt and I learned was try a big hammer first, then buy a new part

My method is that if skill and expertise doesn't work, brute force will.....

I spent the money on the brownell's gas tube wrench. Worth the pennies for aid in removing and installing.

Got it, now all I need is a little patience.

I like PB blaster better than wd40, seems to work a lot better and faster

Pliers worked great, but since it was my first time, I really lubed it up.

PB Blaster is the elephant dung. Great penetrant. Only thing I'd use WD 40 for is displacing water. It's a horrible penetrant and lube.

WD40 is good for flame blasts at wasp nests.

If I had a best friend, he'd be you

If you'd ever show up to a match, we could hang out.
