Removing ULE feedneck?

[PRPB]

I just got a ccm no rise to replace the one on my ule and I don't have a strap wrench to get it off. So is there another way to get it off without damaging it? Or should I just go and get a strap wrench?

[Bad_Dog]

what he said^^^

they also have them at walmart and k-mart and most large stores...

[fire1811]

i got mine from sears and if i remember correctly if you break it you get a new one. i could be wrong though

either way DEFINATLY worth there weight in gold

[PRPB]

Alright thanks, I'll run out later and get one. One more thing should I put any threadlocker on the feedneck?

[fire1811]

i personaly use blue loctite on mine.

[White_Noise]

loctite isnt necessary in most cases, i have no loctite on my feednecks, and the only way i can get them to get loose is to shove an oversized halo into them and twist.

Really not necessary at all, just screw it on tight & off you go.

Ok the strap wrench is not working. It is not gripping the feedneck to well. Any suggestions? This thing just does not want to come off.

[lord1234]

strap wrench and put some serious muscle into it...u won't win otherwise....there is no other way really.

[PRPB]

That's what I'm doing, but the wrench doesn't grip to well and it starts slipping.

[Kevmaster]

you CAN use pliers or a vice grip IF you tighen it all the way AND you put a cloth inbetween the pleirs and the metal. that will usually not scratch the metal. thats only if the strap wrench can't gget it off

[fire1811]

if you cant get it out drill a hole though it and put a rod though the holes and twist.

they must have used a lot of loctite on yours i just took one off of a ule yesterday with a strap wrench. it was tight but nothing like you have here. lucky you

A cheat to use here is to pull the strap out and use that as a protective strap only and then use a pipe wrench or a pair of mole grips. Be warned though that you may find that the feedneck currently installed may well be loctited in place so you need to heat it up using a flame thrower type lighter...hairdryers don't work as they don't get the body/feedneck hot enough and for those that jump in a say they use a hairdryer all the time...you didn't need to use any heat in those case's so you are kidding yourselves that you needed the hairdryer

[PRPB]

Yeah just like my trigger pin was a pain to get out.

Well I not going to drill a hole. So I'll try the strap from the wrench and some pliers. I'll try a heat gun first if that does't work then I'll dig out my torch.

use a blow dryer, it works great
