Can't remove Kalibrgun Valve Assembly, Help!

[Archdesigner03]

Hi there,

I'm in the process of removing the valve assembly of my Kalibrgun Argus to replace the regulator but I can't remove the valve assembly from the air tube. It is on super tight. Any special tools required or some tricks to this. Help!

Have you tried a heat gun? I've never removed from this gun but most manufacturers love loctite. Heat it up where the threads are just about to hot to touch then try to remove??? Good luck.

Don't have a heat gun on hand but will try a hair dryer for now. Is this something you have to do with guns you have?

Have had to do it a few times with other manufacturers. You could also wrap some electrical tape around so you can get some pliers or Chan locks to help twist without marking it up.

Ha! Hair dryer worked! Also used this guy's tip on using allen wrench as torquing devise.

Glad it worked out for you!
