stillair1 Posted November 11, 2015 Report Share Posted November 11, 2015 Hi chaps, embarrassingly the back end of my p8 wildcat mod,the bit with the over tube and diffuser part are stuck together.The front baffle stack comes off OK. I've tried dismantling oil,coaster grip,rubber gloes etc.I'm thinking of a bit of heat from a hairdryer or hot air gun,bearing in mind the O ring seals Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

spanner Posted November 13, 2015 Report Share Posted November 13, 2015 two choices boiling water or freezer over night Boiling water worked for me, pour a kettle full over it then try to unscrew with towels to protect your hands or gloves etc. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
stillair1 Posted November 22, 2015 Author Report Share Posted November 22, 2015 Thanks for you input chaps. Phew ! now sorted. I think the problem was a bit of ali corrosion in the diffuser bridge o ring groove (about 8mm long) had pushed the o ring hard up against the outer tube just enough to seize things together. I finally got it to bits after an overnight spray of rost off and careful use of a b&d workmate tightened on the rather narrow bottom tube bush. It did the trick and once unscrewed the centre part came off easy. Of course everything was clean inside, but it obviously pays just to keep an eye on things.
