Damn man, that sucks. Iv had to use vice grips to get a plastic tank off my kayfun. I bet your having trouble because the catch cup is so thin that you can't get a good enough grip and its just unscrewing from the kayfun base. Do nemesis have adjustable center posts on the top cap? If they do, try unscrewing that from the inside if you can first. Then wrap the bottom of your kayfun with blue painters tape, then electrical tape. If you put electrical tape directly on the kayfun you run the risk of it leaving black goo on the kayfun that will be a ..... to remove. Then use a pair of vice grips to get a hold of it and see if you cant unscrew it.
I bought two of these just for dissembling my kayfun. Sometimes the catch cup doesn't want to come off.

I should get thise you mentioned.

i tried to use latex gloves, put rubbur band on and used wrenches, nothing worked.

im so ...... that nemesis top cap has air adjust ring and it keeps spinning so cant get a good grip.

Ok.

Well I have bought strap wrenches, 2 vise grips, duck tapes, mask tapes, black electric tapes.

NOTHING WORKS. HAHAHAHAHA

so I shove the ceramic piece on bottom of collector tank and I screw the bottom pin.

it still works but the kayfun is now stuck with nemesis eric's edition.

Of course there are MANY scratches and dents all over the kayfun and my beloved eric's edition nemesis but I don't give a crap anymore.

I realized that the threads are incredibly weak and they should have made it with thicker threads like gp paps lux ( I love their thread )

Oh well... now it is my new ihybrid since they are attatched to each other lmfao

I almost broke the f%#k out of it by hammering on it ( I have bad temper. can't help it) but it works tho. that's all that matters.

My atties will on occasion get stuck to the top of all my mods.

With regard to your Nemesis, I use rubber balloons when this happens. Loosen your bottom cap a bit. Separate the top cap (with you atty attached) from the tube. Then loosen the positive pin a bit. Then unscrew your atty.

I have never used tools. The balloons have always worked. The balloons are also great for when taking the different sections of my atties a apart, as well.

This thread makes me cringe


Yea, and it ain't the mod that scares me:facepalm:

Watched a gut at work fighting like crazy to get his Lift truck forks out from under a collapsed pallet.
Stopped him, got 3 small boards to sit the pallet on paralleling the forks. Backed right out.

Some times simpler is smarter.
