Removing Geddon valve Arm from a bottle

[Flash-Bugout]

Anybody know how to remove a geddon valve arm from a bottle?

There's a chance it's superglued in (no, not that superglue!) but obviously the valve is rounded, so I can't take a big spanner to it, and dont have easy access to a vice either.

Cheers y'all

Mole grips. Vice grips....which ever floats your boat.

and a leather belt will grip the bottle

I'm assuming it would be advisable to remove the pressure guage and/or fill nipple to allow the mole grips to get enough metal to grip onto?

Yep, also, do you have any foam you can wrap around it so you dont damage it?

Flash if you're particularly worried about damaging the bottle I have a vice in my garage plus a wide assortment of spanners you can use

We couldn't get mine out a while back & John Bonich had to do it for me in the end - turns out he uses some special tool. Apparently they often feel like they've been superglued but you just have to know what to use; sorry, he didn't show me the tool so you'll have to ask him or try WDP what they use.

Flash, I'd really go the John Bonich or John Sosta route if I was you. They do use a special tool that they've made and strap the bottle down rather than use a vise so they avoid any possibility of causing damage.

Easy stuff!! Buy yourself a Boa Constrictor strap wrench from B&Q for bout 7 quid. Then get an adjustable spanner and use the fill nipple to unscrew it.

It may take a fair bit of brute force if it's been Loctited. But i've done quite a few like this. . . probably easiest if you've got 2 people one to hold the strap wrench while you turn the arm.

Have fun!
