Maybe they are...

It is often the way with things that are designed to let other things screw into and out of them.

If you you are twisting your tank/reg out of the asa, then the same movement will be tightening the asa onto it's threads.

It's more than possible. It may even be likely that the threads are reversed.

Good luck,
D.

They should be a standard 1/8" NPT fitting, unless PPS went and pulled a brass eagle on everyone.

Get a fabric strap wrench. I have one of those rubber ones, and they arent much use for any high tourqe applications because they tend to stretch.

This should work for for that>>>

eBay: 5C COLLET BLOCK HEX SQUARE BLOCKS CAM NUT CLOSER SET (item 330091328590 end time May-22-07 13:52:25 PDT)

We use a bigger style that uses a threaded lockdown.



You will need a 1" 5c collet to go with it.

The fitting is 1/8 NPT into the gun and will take a lot of force to get it out.

A quick call to PPS may be in order. Just to make sure.

Well... It's off...

I took it down to one of the machine shops we use, and the guy used a HUGE set of channel locks.

There are a couple marks in the part, so I called and ordered another, along with a spacer that has the PPS logo. While ordering I learned that the new vertical ASA parts are aluminum anodized hard black instead of stainless which explains the black ASA on my Super Stocker.

Craig - thanks for the link. I found a 5C block set and 1" 5C collet for ~ $40 online, so I ordered them both. At least that way I can do it the right way from now on. I left for the machine shop TWO MINUTES before you posted the link. The story of my life...


Anyway - thanks for the help / advice guys. I'll get some pictures taken and posted of the rebuild progress...

Anytime you see a marker in that many parts... its either really good... or REALLY bad.
