bigfra Posted April 12, 2011 Report Share Posted April 12, 2011 Hi all,can anyone tell me how to get the rapid 7 buddy bottle valve out of the bottle,i think it's an older bottle,maybe rapid mk1,as it hasn't got the 3 notches in the bottle collar Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Durham-laddie Posted April 13, 2011 Report Share Posted April 13, 2011 I would be careful about messing with the valve, if it's faulty the valve maybe holding back the pressure....even though you think it's empty !!! Note even sure you can self fix either ? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It is very tight to move but it will give in time,your bottle is a slimmer type than the one on the stealth but the same valve good luck .Ps i used a good vice grip and a pair of strong pipe grips.
