sako751sg Posted May 28, 2015 Report Share Posted May 28, 2015 Having seal problems with the Sidewinder and was wondering if anyone had any advice for stripping to get the cylinder off of the action to get to the seals in the cylinder exhaust valve body.Have tried unthreading without too much force but it seems pretty solid and nay sure if its attached to the valve by any other means. Any help appreciated as have had no luck looking elsewhere online. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

lineshooter Posted May 28, 2015 Report Share Posted May 28, 2015 Maybe just being stubborn on the threads, try some more heat and a spray of release agent, usually once the air is out every thing is just hand tight. When I re sealed my Ultra I was quite surprised how tight the air cylinder went when under pressure. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Will try again fella.It seems solid but pretty sure its just very tight and will try a wee spray and see if that helps. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Was very tight due to rust on the threads at the action end of the cylinder but a wee punch released it and as you said everything is just threaded. Cheers.
