Hi all,

I was hoping someone here may have stripped one of these down before. I have a repair to make but I’m unable to seperate the pipe which is preventing me from popping the main body? I can’t find any drawings online and I’m in Australia so returning to the OEM isn’t an option.

I’m usually pretty handy but this has me baffled.

Cheers

Im not familiar with what you have but that pipe seems glued pretty tight. Heres a bump so maybe others might help. Maybe include some more pictures and a description to help find the right person to help🤙
 
No idea what you wanna do but if you wanna remove that piece of pvc that’s glued in there without destroying everything you can get it out most of the time with a heat gun or propane torch.. get the fitting super hot and pliable and use vise grips to twist it and it comes out clean.. “most of the time” I should say..that fitting will be trash I just did it the other day on a metric fitting I needed to cut down and didn’t wanna order lol.: a little sanding and glue a new piece in if needed.
