Thank you. I'll see what I need when I start the rebuild. I really appreciate all the offers. Truly a great bunch of folks on this forum. Mark
Excellent info. I looked and sure enough mine have them.
Worked like a charm. Thank you Captain Tom.captain wrote: ↑Sat Jan 13, 2018 8:48 pmYou will need a 5/32 drill bit, #1 broken bolt extractor, a propane torch and either WD 40 or Aero Kroil.
Drill the nozzle hole with the 5/32 drill bit. Heat the part, don't be afraid of doing damage, a propane torch can not get it hot enough. Heat it for a several minutes then spray with the WD 40 or Kroil. The worst that can happen is the WD 40 or Kroil ignites, which is good because you will know you got it hot enough, just smother the flame with a wet rag. Do this several times then try to remove it with the extractor. Be sure the extractor doesn't hit bottom in the body before it grips the nozzle. If it does you will need to grind the extractor slightly shorter.
This method has never failed me in freeing frozen regulator and valve parts while doing no damage.
I have a NOS nozzle I can give you.
Captain, I will make sure the tabs are smooth. I have already rounded off the ends of the horseshoe and gotten rid of the groove marks.
