            You know, Tom and his Elves mill a nice 3/8" hex on the LX power tube tip, and some morons still hack away at it with pliers Too bad a little common sense isn't included in the LX kit...instead of buying a vise-grip, why 'n the heck didn't you get a 3/8" wrench/socket/nutdriver???

                only if the head is striped and it is out a couple turns and still is being stubron.....

                besides thats what helicoil kits are for


                at anyrate.... did you ever see the commerical for tropicana twisters.... the one white the scrawny guy but has a forearm like popeye.... well he work for TK now putting on the powertube tips..... i suggest the proper size wrench for the tip and a strap wrench to hold the rest of the valve.... and for those that have now arm strength a 2foot breaker bar for the added leverage....
