| Quote: | | Hi Guys, I am trying to remove the threaded flange cap assembly from one of my wing tanks to seal the thread and stop some fuel leakage. I am having great difficulty in removing it. Is there a way to do this without destroying it. It is presently stuck so I can’t thread it in or out. Thanks PeterWonthaggi Australiahttp://zodiac.cpc-world.com |

If you haven't forced it and galled the threads try to get some penetrating oil down into the threads. The threads seem to gall easily and once that happens you are screwed. I know, I ended up using a pipe wrench and rubber mallet to beat out the fitting so I could remove the tank and send it back to Zenith to weld in a new fitting.
Good Luck

fit a piece of wood, to the inside of the cap cover, it should fit in to the rectangular slots, it should give you plenty of leverage to twist it off.
