New Halcyon Inflator/ Screw Fused Stuck

[Cacia]

What tool would give me a better grip? Its a Phillips head, tiny.

Spray something on it? It is right by where the inflator hose plugs in on that collar deal.

Merci

00 size Phillips head.

If you can't find a way to get the screws undone, you may just have to cut the collar. You should be able to replace it with a SS hose clamp...unless a new collar came with that new inflater.

Cut it. When I replaced my inflator, a new clamp came with the new inflator.

I just replaced the clamp with 2 zip ties. Work great, no issues.

Another vote for cut it off and use two zip ties.

Catherine, you just can't seem to give up on those Halcyon inflators, no matter how badly they treat you. :banana:

I have totally bonded with my inflator, this is a big step for me.

So...dumb question. What do you cut that with?....a saw?

Plasma torch... if none available try a set of dykes

Dremel should work.
