The feed necks are threaded on and use locktite to secure them.
Try a little heat on the body at the base of the feed neck then unscrew the feed using a strap wrench. I've heard of people using hair dryers and heat guns to warm them up, but others have removed them cold.

Put the body in boiling water for about 5-10 minutes, hten remove the feedneck with a strap wrench.

or you can use a blow dryer, i heard that works just fine too. :headbang:

man it takes a little more then a hair dryer to get it off ... let me tell you ..
here is how i got it off with out a scratch or ding or blem in my anno...took an old bicycle inner tube cut about a 3inch peice .. left it in a circl shape ..i did not cut it into a square .. i slipped it over the feedneck... and put the feedneck into a vise ..and about 20 secs later it was off...
also take the body off the rail and the valve out of the body ... this way there is no tention on the screws in the frame and rail or valve to be bent..

How i got mine off: I put my brand new egg into the feedneck by turning it in... and to get my egg out of it i started to "unscrew" the egg and my feedneck just un-screwed.

BTW, i did not meen to take my feedneck off and do not reccamend his bc it took me FOREVER to get my egg out of my feedneck w/e brake'in it.
