snw blue by you Posted April 23, 2008 Share Posted April 23, 2008 Help! The small end of the forcing screw went to lunch and now I got nothing to remove the valve. Any ideas? The valve simply does not want to move. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DwayneGorniak Posted April 23, 2008 Share Posted April 23, 2008 I have had a couple like that. Great friggin Idea: Stick a piece of aluminum inside another piece of aluminum with lots of condensation and an extremely corrosive environment. Anyway, try to soak the hell out of it with penetrating fluid and tap on the valve with a hammer while trying to remove it. I have even tried to get them to turn slightly with water pump pliers then tried pulling on them. Don't know what to tell you about the screwed forcing screw. Sorry dude. I feel for ya. /forums/images/%%GRAEMLIN_URL%%/puke.gif Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
snw blue by you Posted April 23, 2008 Author Share Posted April 23, 2008 I got it out 'cept it's in pieces, will take pics tommorrow. Damn thing completely siezed into the adapter. It generated a P042F P0404 and P1408 and the valve is destroyed (bent stem) I am replacing the whole adapter, I don't believe it is worth trying to save. Thanks Dwayne.
