Hey y’all.
This is a first for me. I have a 7 grain AMW case that I had a CTI M840 in with the assistance of the “hubcap”. This has been an absolute nightmare trying to disassemble. I’ll spare you all the details on how I got the forward closure out. Currently I have the liner, nozzle and nozzle holder still in the case. I’ve put more hours into this than I care to admit. It’s a little embarrassing.
At one point I was able to knock the liner/nozzle/holder down enough to move the holder to where it is now. I believe the Oring is stuck in the snap ring groove. I can knock the nozzle/liner upward and out of the holder so I know the resistance has to be the holder/case interface.
Most recently, after knocking the nozzle away from the holder a little, I ran a piece of 3/8 all thread, attached to a 54mm bulkhead, through the nozzle hole. I then placed a small section of airframe over the aft end of the case, ran the all thread through a board and tried to pull it out with some wrenches. I basically just pulled the nozzle back into the carrier and no more. I’m not ultra strong but I worked this several times until I couldn’t turn the nut anymore. No luck. Then I just whacked at the board w a sledge. No luck. I’ll throw some pics here to maybe help visualize what I’m doing. I’m at a loss at this point. I’ve also tried sticking a long piece of aluminum pipe up to the nozzle from the forward end and ramming it on the ground as hard as I can. Chipped the driveway up good but still, not a budge.
Open to any and all suggestions!
