Strip pin

[Zasshu]

i stripped my strip pin (dont ask me how, because ive not got an idea. i put it in finger tight, but its stripped now)

question is, is there enough room around the hole to drill out and put in a helicoil? or is the valve wall too thin and the gun will explode? it will have to be drilled out to just slightly larger than 13/64

[Zasshu]

can someone reply? ive got a x-valve sitting around and i need it fixed.

speak to AGD, they'll probably be able to help

i guess you could try putting something that dries strong, like epoxy, then stick in the allenwrench to dry. then just screw out


if you just hand tightened it, i guess you could wrap a rubber band around it and twist real hard, i also hear there is some rubber strap? wrench

yea. ill talk to AGD, but they always say to post here first...

im planning to helicoil it, im just afraid if i cut away the wall it might blow up or something? cuz a helicoil requires me drilling it out a bit more...

Threads in the valve stripped? or threads on screw are stripped? or some evil combination of both?

[Zasshu]

in the valve... the strip pin is nothing i need to worry about. u can get those for $5 or make one yourself (10-32 screw).

valves are harder to come by
