loc tite question

[petefol]

i need to remove the ss hoses i have and there loc tited on. im not sure what kind it is but its a redish color, so whats the best way to get this off?

[virus]

apply heat... best bet would be with a lighter....

you'll only need to do that for a min then use 2 wrenchs to grab both pieces and you should be set

[petefol]

alright, when i go to reattach stuff would teflon tape be alright if its for the macroline fittings, or would it be to weak?

if you need more info about loctite go to www.warpig.com they have an article about it in the technical section.

Teflon tape works fine with macro line fittings.

Edit: I think that red loctite is thread locker, not a sealer, so your better off with teflon tape anyway.

[yeahthatsme]

hes right. red is to hold threads. i think blue seals but i'm not sure.

[speedyejl]

blue seals and you can break it by hand or with a wrench easy. Its better than teflon, if a chunk of teflon gets in your valve, well its alota fine clean up

Hold it a sec. You are removing macroline fittings with heat. Would someone like to tell me what is in those fittings?.....
O-rings, which don't respond to well to heat. Try to remove them before doing anything.

[petefol]

no its a stainless steel hose

Ok, sorry i got the impression that it was macro. Just heat it up with a lighter, and turn while hot. You may see it start to smoke after heating for a while, that means its broken. Sometimes you get some smoke, sometimes youdont.
