I Can't get the hose off!

[Josarian]

I think the subject says it all, I can get it off the valve part inside of the gun but i cannot get it off the part that attaches to the Co2 tank, is there a trick to getting this off? or should i just ask someone stronger? thanks.


EDIT: this is on a M98C

take the ASA off the gun

put a large adjustable/cresent wrench on it with a cloth over the AS so it doesnt scratch it up

and the take a 6 point open ended wrench ( made for stainless hose fittings) the size it 7/16 and put some elbow grease into it and is should come right off reply if you dont have the tools above i may beable to think of alternative

[Josarian]

hmm, i have everything there i think except for the wrench, i have some pliers(sp?) that i have been using, but that is it

[in trauma]

do you hav eany 7/16 open ended wrenches?

[Josarian]

nope, and also, what is the asa? i can guess but i am not 100% sure

The asa is where the co2 tank screws into. You will just have to use a lot of muscle cause they have probably used loc-tite on it when the installed the hose on the marker.

alright thanks, thats what i thought it was, my friend is coming over tomarrow to help me with it, and unlike myself he is not a weakling, so we should be able to get it, thanks

Just in case you might still be working on this... Or for anyone else who is having the same problem. First, heat it up with a hair dryer, then take the ASA off of the marker. Next put a small screw driver throught the holes where the screws come up in the marker. Now take the 7/16ths wrench and loosen it using all of your muscle while holding the screw driver with your other hand. That way you don't have to put a wrench on the ASA and you get double the leverage.

use a monkey wrench to get the hose off, same thing happened to me...just put some muscle into it...
