Max flow

[pulserifle98]

I have a max flow tank and i want to change the line to a steel braided hose. The regulator came with macrolinw elbow instaled. How do i remove this. i think it has been loctited. Please help

I had a hell of a time getting fitings out of my maxflo. I wound up clamping it in a vice and using a box end wrench and a cheater pipe for more leverage. Use padding in the vice, thick leather or rubber works good. They use some super duper loctite on these things.

you could also try to heat it lightly with a torch then use a wrench. this helps loosen the loctite

I had the EXACT same problem. I bought it used, and the idiot red loctited the fitting on there. Anyway, take out ALL the internals from the valve, put it in a wood/leather lined vice with the fitting sticking up, and take a propane torch to it. You'll need some serious heat to get it off; it will laught at boiling and cigarette lighters. You'll hear a lot of popping sounds, and eventually you will see the loctite melt. Then you get a crescent wrench on it and it comes off like a knife through hot butter (not a good analogy, I know...) I tried using wrenches and devices to increase my leverage, but all I did was strip the bolt.
