I just got my x-chamber today, and  I'm trying to  put it in, but I cant seem to get the hose disconnected from the gun. I know i need 2 wrenches, but what do i turn which way?

And any advice to stop leaking, other than loctite, once i got everything in?

Lefty-Loosey.
Turn the hose connection counter-clockwise when facing the hole it's screwed into.

They're tough to budge, as the Loctite originally used has a fairly good grip on them.



Don't use Loctite when reinstalling the hose.

Clean off any remaining remnants of the old loctite, and use teflon tape/plumbers tape. White non-adhesive material which will seal the threading, while allowing you to easily remove the hoses again should you need to.
