When I take the gun apart to install my rt kit i cant get the gas hose out of the valve can some one help me

thx ill give it another try soon ill get a lighter but im still open to other tips

i got it just fine i just couldnt get the loctite off after that i put my gun back together rt and all without manual and that was the first time ive taken it apart

yea, that works too, but ur probably much more likely to accidentally break something if you just try to twist it apart.  Apply heat to it for a little while and it should come right off.  

like i said i got it i just dont have ne air to test

i know heat is helpful for removing red loctite, my concern was the plastic powertube just milimeters away from the heatsource. the threads on the valve aren't very thick and i have never found a situation where i had to heat thoes particular fittings to get them apart

Tha'ts the reason that I said to be careful. I didn't use anything but a wrench to take mine apart. Just held it in my hand and used a wrench on the hose. But some might be tighter, or better sealed than others. Those might require the CAREFUL use of heat, or the careful use of a vise. Your first post made it sound like using heat was something incredibly stupid, that you were amazed that anyone would even suggest such a thing.
