Dave M. posted his process for removing a threaded barrel from his PTFE insulator, and it’s brilliant. I was wondering how to do this since I may want to get my heater barrel out of the nozzle. But, how to do it without having to some plyers, vice, or some other crushing instrument on the threads?!
- Screw on one nut, a washer, and another nut.
- Put the PTFE in a vice
- Put a wrench on the nut below the washer
- Muscles!
