This thread is what, 2 yrs old almost?
So I've owned my fuge for quite some time now and it has finally become necessary to remove the bowl.
?But it won't budge :dunno:
I removed the cone nut, and the garlock nut, then used 2 clamps like a bearing puller.
Am I missing something here? It shouldn't be rocket science right?
The bowl comes straight up once the garlock is removed right? I put two 2x4's across the top housing of my CF, then put the bar clamps down into the bowl and proceeded to tighten them. No go, so I spray it down with penetrating oil and give it a few taps for vibration. I do this several times, and release the clamps and rotate their position. Still nothing.
I need to get this bowl off asap, what the hey am I doing wrong?
I torqued my clamps till I thought I would break a chunk out of the lip of the bowl.
Anybody got a secret I don't know about?
