How to take apart cyclone afc cap???

[SteamStack]

I can't spin my top. Seems stuck and so I figure I gota take the acf apart but for the life of me I can't seem to figure it out!

Tried using a wood doll to push the side of the cap down off the top part and it's not budging.

Any ideas?

Never mind I got it.. just needed to warm it up a little in a glass of hot water and keep trying to pull the afc down while pushing up on the cap with the wood doll. Started to move a little and just needed a ton more effort and pop it came off.

Haha.. time to lube up those orings.

Or replace the o rings Glad you got it. Stuck caps are frustrating. I had a copper nuppin cap stuck tonight and wound up scratching it..

The Cyclops AFC is only hard to disassemble the first time you take it apart
After that it gets easy
Tapping the right size wooden rod inside the cap while holding tightly and pushing down on the outside of cap Is the way to do it
