Heat it up at the join with a hair dryer or something, and then use a strap wrench to unscrew it off once the loctite has been softened.

Mine was on really tight on my Eclipse impy. Tried heating it with a drier, steeping it in boiling water, the works... In the end I had to drill a hole through it and wedge a screw driver through it and twist it off. I say I did, well one of the lads did

Had tried the strap wrench thing as well with no joy...

Make sure it is an Impy with a threaed feed neck as well, some of the early ones were actually bonded in there

Hair Dryer???

Tried that in the past with no joy, go the simple route and just use a lighter on the point for 4/5mins until you can see the loctite bubble then it should twist off with next to no effort.

As for a replacment feed neck, check out the Evolve gear at Just Paintball

Furion, send me a PM with who u are and when ya next at site and I'll sort it out next time I'm down (most days since I'm working)

Changed about 6 of these and ive always used a lighter and then took it off with molegrip's and a rubber glove

Heat with hairdryer,

Wrap sheet of lead around feedneck.

clamp on huge molegrips and usncrew.


This method NEVER fails and wont scratch up your old feedneck either...

Composition 4 works every time.

Does it leave the old feedneck un-scratched?

Or un-atomised for that matter

 

[stongle]

Oh, just thought he wanted the thing off. Sorry.

if you need to break loctite regularly the little brulee torches that gadget shop sell are just the ticket, in fact anything that puts out a blue flame (some lighters do)(its hotter than a yellow flame), I've never heard of anyone using a hair dryer until now . I have always heated the loctite until it starts to smoke!! i've never caused any damage to any anodizing and never had problems with thread damage
