I doubt you looked through every thread.....

But anyway, it just screws off.

You should remove any air source.
Shoot out any remaining air.
Detatch the macroline from the grip.
Turn the forgrip counter clockwise as the Impulse is upside down.
Voila, it's off!

finaly realized what the impressions were for. now the problem is getting the stuff off with red loctite. Ive tried hair drier and a lighter to heat it up, how long do i need to heat it up for? trying to install the eclipse front mount :(

That depends, but the longer the better. You may want to find someone with a heat gun and not just a hair dryer. Anyway, let it sit for a good 5 to 10 minutes (supervised of course) and when it's not gonna get any hotter, then give it a try.

i feel for ya, i got a eclipse mount, took me a while to install and it was drivin me crazy.... anyway let the hair dryer on it for like 5 mins, get one of those rubber grip things so u dont burn ureself, and pry like mad with the biggest wrench you can find. You just have to keep trying, itll come eventually.

and use blue locktite when you reinstall the guage, valve and stuff so you can get it off next time without second degree burns.

and the 2 small hex screws on the side of the mount will come loose throughout the day, and if you keep tightening them, they will strip very easily, so put some blue locktite on em and itll stay perfectly.

and i hope u got the chrome one, i did, my imp looks pimpin, and im the only one on the field with one, so your imp will stand out.


i think its physically impossible for me to make a small post
