Macro Problems

I can not get the ****ing macroline off of my Ego for the life of me. I wanna lube the reg but the macro won't come off. It's starting to piss me off. Suggestions?

Just like... pull it out.

Can you get it off of the ASA? Maybe you could slide something over the macro to push in the fitting while you pull or something.

is there dirt in it.......cause that would stop it from being able to be pushed in, resulting in you not being able to pull the macro out.

It's been this way since I got it. Which is why I haven't lubed it yet. Too lazy to get the ****ing macro off. I push/pull but it won't budge. On my Timmy it just came off. If it gets bad enough, I'll get it then twist the fitting off and buy macro and possibly new macro fittings.

GRRRRR

try taking your ASA off to give some slack on the line to work with. What ends up happening is the teath on the coupler can't release unless the collar is pushed in all the way. If there is not enough slack to work with then it can be a little challenging.

I'm pretty sure that's what was happening Jaggy. There was barely enough macro to start when the gun came stock. I'm gonna try to take off the rail/asa then see what happens.

Thanks

Cut the macro in the middle, take the fittings off and put new ones and new macro on.

Problem solved.
