Stuck Ego barrel - which way to turn...

[Ben Frain]

I have inadvertently managed to get the barrel on my Ego stuck fast. However, in the midst of my frustration I am now wondering if I am turning the correct way.

So...

With the gun in my hand barrel pointing away from me, which direction do I turn the barrel to remove it from my gun - clockwise or anti clockwise?

clockwise

Hi Matt, I do have a contrictor strap wrench but before I really gave it some beans I wanted to check I was going the correct direction

I had tried running it under hot water and then using rubber gloves but to no avail - there is no o-ring on there.

Now I know what direction I will give it a go with the strap wrench.

Thanks all.

It would be anti-clockwise if the barrel was pointing away from you. To remember this use the 'lefty loosy, righty tighty' phrase

could be a funny image Ben, you with pink rubber gloves on with your gun in the sink

No I just double checked to be sure on my Ego and it is definately clockwise when the gun is in that position
