[ARCHIVED THREAD] - Removing Gas Tube...

Posted: 4/5/2004 2:14:44 PM EDT

Okay, I got my FSB off with not trouble...I'm trying to get the gas tube out. I've knocked out the little pin, and squirted Kroil on it to loosen it up...any chance this thing will come out easily? I'm ordering a new gas block, and had thought about using this gas tube as opposed to buying a new one...every $$ counts!

I haven't tried anything like pliers yet, so it's still unmarked hehehe...but I thought I'd ask for advice BEFORE I ruin it...if you can do this without screwing it up, that is.

Grab it with a pair of [u]rubber[/u] gloves and give it a good twist, it should come right out.

I always replace the gas tube on a new build, my .02.

I used very gentle pressure with a pair of vise grips...just enough to hold the tube firmly, but not enough to do any harm. I got both tubes out without even scratching them.
