Re: ufs clear window stuck

[Painfreak]

Some help needed here. Purchase a ufs recently but the clear window screw to the bottom metal piece is stuck. I've tried using tools and even put Vaseline but it still didn't move even a bit. I'm afraid I might break the clear window if I continue to use tools or even spoil the threads. Please advice me what can I do o unscrew it out. Thanks!

Use a piece of rubber to grip it. Like maybe a jar opener or just a big rubber band.

Put the 2 pieces that are stuck together in WARM water for a while. that may help in loosening up what has them stuck together.
Do Not put the clear piece in HOT water as that may cause Micro-Fractures and Clouding of the clear piece.

So I'll just put the metal part in the hot water. The clear piece is stuck to it so I'll have to pour the hot water just nice to the brim of the metal part. Will give it a try. Hopefully it works!

Honestly, I would just use warm water for all of it

You can use wet towel for grip too. It works for me every time. I get that from HoPeFuLLL

tried all ways i can think of and yet it's still stuck together. I think the only way to take out is if only i break the clear window.

Or just leave it on there. No need to break it until you have a replacement and/or never take it off and just clean it like regular.

yup guess that is the only way now. i would like to find out if there's is replacement for the metal piece that we screw the clear window down? The one above the control ring. Thanks!

yes definitely turning the right way. i've see the video and all. There's a o-ring that makes it more difficult for me to unscrew it out. not sure if the thread is spoil but guess i'll have to find a replacement soon hopefully.

pain, there is no reason to unscrew the piece. Leave it as it is. Lets say that its one piece, no problem.

I will also send to Bruce a UFS base but why do you need that?

hi imeo, yes i can leave it as it is in one piece. i have a extra collector tank core part. i actually wanted to change the clear window to stainless steel but if it's stuck i would need to have a spare base to screw it on. so was wondering if any worldwide reseller would have it. I can't purchase from Bruce cause i'm not in US.

 

[imeothanasis]

I will send 8 of them to Bruce Pain

hi imeo,

i currently bought the new ufs cap but same problem i cant unscerew the top part with the clear tube window...need help with this...

thanks,

phillip

prog, if you have this problem, then you need smaller orings around your clear window. So when you will finally unscrew it you have to put 16/1,5 o-rings on both sides of clear window and DONT FORGET to vaseline on them. As for the fact that you cant unscrew it right now, the only I can suggest is to send it to me or to your seller to give it a try.
