Hoses

Hey,
I have an A-5
I'm trying to remove the stock stainless steel hose from the ASA, but that thing is on there tight. How do I get it the hose off without breaking my fingers or the gun?

try applying some gentle heat like a hair dryer or ceramic heater. make sure youre' turning it counter-clockwise. I dont' dobut there's some sort of thread lock on them.

You think a hair dryer will have enough heat? There is some sort of thread sealant or something on there, because I can slightly see the residue around the contact points. if heat doesn't work, do you think rubbing a small bit of acetone on the threads might help?

Never mind...I'm an idiot. It was all a matter of leverage, I got the fitting off.
