--> QUOTE(joe b @ Nov 8 2006, 09:09 PM) ← I doubt the above will work as it doesn't turn as it is at an angle relative to the thread its on. And, it normally get stuck, fast. So, any way of loosening it will thread it, easily... I say just get it out by all means necessary then buy a metal '74Kingz' one from Tarty; you got no chance of messing one of them up . Cheers, Joe. its a thread... course it will work. the copper stops the metals oxidising. the grease helps it run smooth. the whole point of that wheel is to turn allowing the fluid to be pushed through the hosing. id the threads stuck, it wont budge. the grease eliminates that problem.
