Hi,
So like a lot of BPs out there my "Key Screw" is sheared off. I order a replacement, watched a video and thought to my self this is going to be an easy job.
Well my cap is stuck. The set screw is out, I can't tell you what's going on but it wont budge. I even bent the spanner pin tool I had trying to get it to go. The holes were pretty buggered before I started so I'm thinking the PO had the same problem. I did try some light tapping on the spanner tool to see if some shocking would help...no joy.
Any ideas? I guess I could put a pipe wrench on there and buy a new cap.
Oh and I am turning it the right way (I did see some imports were left handed threads but this is a good old 1960s BP).
