Does anyone know how to remove the packing washers if they're already packed in the body? I purchased a used RFL with 2 washers already in it and im trying to remove them. I tried putting it in the freezer and prying them out with a screwdriver, but had no luck. Any suggestions?

 

Mine goes out easly just by shaking it .... I dont see how they can get stuck..

 

mine are deffinately stuck.... badly

 

wouldnt the freezer be the opposite of what you want? heat expands things cold shrinks them..thats what i thought at least.

 

yeah your right, you would have to heat the outside as it would be a lot easier than cooling the inside

 

im not sure about what the main body of the bov is made from so its hard to say if the washers will expand more/less than the body so heat it up and see if that works...take anything rubber out of course

 

i tried heating the body while the washers were cold, still no luck. i may have to just live with it

 

i never had washers in mine....whats the purpose anyways to tighten the spring???

 

Are they rusted in there?

 

not rusted, they just look like they were forced in there and have a tight fit with the body. Yes, they are for increasing spring pressure, but i dont need them.
