Having trouble removing the top part of my Torpedo Regulator, the little bitch will NOT loosen

Any tips please?

i think you can use some large sized allen keys to loosen (one in the top and one in the bottom)

if it isn't then try wraping a towel round one of the halves and using a set of pliars or a monkey wrench to get more grip and leverage (but be very carefull not to scratch th anodising off)

Get yerself a couple of small strap wrenches, a few quid from the DIY or hardware store. Or you could get someone with a strong grip , use some latex gloves.

Ok one other question, do i need to loosen any parts from the inside or should it literally just screw off?

 

[NitroBall]

Unscrew the adjuster from the bottom of the reg, then unscrew apart both top and bottom reg housing. Becareful not to lose the bits when you take them apart.

Edit* have you looked at the manual ?

The two halfs of HP reg should unscrew

I know they should unscrew but that top one just will not loosen at all

So looking at the manual is going to do what exactly? I have STUDIED the manual but still cant find no way of removing top half of reg

see post #3 - Looks like yours may have been overtightened

I can undo both of my Timmy HP regs (one Empire and one on a cocker) with my hands

Your best off getting a new reg anyway.

Torpedo regs have a limited lifespan. The internals gradually score a groove into the body until it stops working. (may also explain why you cant open it)

Typical Bob Long really. Too cheap to even grind the springs flat like they were supposed to...

Well i've not heard anything bad about the reg at all so what makes you say that?

Out of all the other places i've searched, not one bad comment regarding the reg
