Stupid stuck nipple

[bassncrap]

Trying to replace the old nipple on my Fox River Fifty but its stuck.

I tried hittin it with wd40 for the last 3 days to get it to break loose but all I did was ruin a brand new nipple wrench lol

I already know now to remove that "clean out" on the drum screw so no worries there.

Bout to just say heck with it and put it on the wall and move on.

Try PB Blaster 100 times better than wd40

Maybe try and heat up the metal around the nipple.

 

[mjpchief]

Try Kroil. Works for me.

WD40 isn’t a penetrating oil. It’s water displacing

At the beginning of this video. I removed a stuck nipple.

Heat the nipple with a torch, let cool, then try spinning it out. If the clean out screw can be removed, you can try pb blaster through that hole to loosen rust inside the drum.

Thanks for that video!!!

I sprayed the manure out of one with PB Blaster. Let sit for a while and then used a small adjustable wrench and a short length of pipe for a breaker bar.
That stuck nipple turned right off very easily.

Torch or heat gun after WD40 soaking. Patience is the key.

The best luck I ever had removing stuck nipples was with an impact driver. Of course you soak with some penetrating oil first, but after every other attempt failed a couple of hammer taps with the impact driver would do the job.

i notched a 1/4 inch drive socket that fit over the cone. can't remember the size of the socket, but with a 3/8 adapter and using a 3/8 drive extension and ratchet with a few shocking smacks to the handle it turned out.
has been about 10 years so my memory of the process is poor. haven't had a stuck nipple for that long . now the next one i shoot will be stuck!

MAKE SURE THE RIFLE IS NOT LOADED then try kroil let set over night and a propane torch if needed.

 

[Greg_E]

Actually the most import step just got mentioned, make sure it is unloaded. I thought long and hard about that when I heated the clean out screw, even though I could see through the nipple threads it was clear.

FYI, for jobs this small a little butane crack torch is normally enough heat.

Kroil is the best, then PB.
I just took the cones out of the 1860 for the first time. the last one would not move.
I made a modified socket like stated about. I used a impact driver, one whack. Then the racket.
Came right out with no juice needed, and I have Kroil and PB standing by.

Kroil and heat. Lightly tapping the wrench while applying some force can help as well.

In the FUTURE, put some anti seize on the threads and remove the nipple each time you clean the gun. Reapply the anti seize each time and DON'T over tighten the nipple. It only needs to be snug.

Nothing can resist Kroil and ‘the Blue Wrench’

MIGHT TRY BLOCKING THE NIPPLE [ VACUME HOSE CAP OR PIECE OF HOSE BLOCED WITH A BOLT OR WHATEVER ] AND PUTTING SOME PB OR KROIL DOWN THE BARREL TO WORK FROM THE INSIDE.

It does work as a pretty good penetrating oil. Not the best but pretty good.

Anyone ever try Knock’er Loose?
Found this stuff a few years back. Works awesome!
