I recently got an rt ule custom, and need to get the braided hose off so i can put in a hose to my gas-thru grip. but i've tried to get the hose off the valve, but it won't budge an inch. im sure agd put loctite in it, so is there any way i can get the hose out without breaking my valve? if it isn't loctited then please tell what is causing this problem. thanks much.

It is loctited. I got mine off, but it took some strength. If you can't get your off, it should be heated, but I don't know if there is anything that can be damaged by heating in the valve. I guess you could remove all orings from the valve before you heat it up to be on the safe side.

I held my valve in my left hand and a 10" adjustable in the other. Just takes some power but it will come out.

alright, thanks y'all. I guess I just didn't put enough strength into it.
