    "WHAT" worked? I suggested then heating becuase my experience has been that then orings get brick hard AND seal themselves to then tubes and needles..making them nearlyn impossable to get to turn.

    Maybe the combo of heat and freezing cracked the seal? In any case, gald you got one to budge. As youve seen, they can be a stubborn thing at times.

    I always dab a Qtip in some grease and swab the tubes and a little on the orings before reinstalling the needles. Keeps them free and easy to fine tune later down the road.

    NEVER SNEAK UP ON A SLEEPING DOG..NOT EVEN YOUR OWN.


    I would rather trust my bike to a "QUACK" that KNOWS how to fix it rather than a book worm that THINKS HE KNOWS how to fix it.

        Now I'm thinking while they are off, since theres a few weeks till i can ride anyway, I may paint them to match the color i'm going to paint the tank.

          So I soaked both 24 hours. One in dip, one in straight purple power. They are both clean (not enough yet im ANAL) but honestly the PP one came out better and the stuff is much less harsh on me and the planet.
