bert w. 0 Posted December 24, 2014 Hi all, I have two seacam PVL extension ports that are stuck together and that I would like to remove from each other. Anyone with suggestions how to do this without causing damage? Just with bare hands it seems impossible (even with 2 persons). Thanks in advance Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Steve Williams 0 Posted December 24, 2014 Hi Bert, Have you tried a couple of strap wrenchs? I always carry two in my gear bag. Works every time for me. Good luck, Steve Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

eyu 26 Posted December 26, 2014 I used to carry two strap wrenches for stuck extensions or ports, but do not now. Although tight, my extension tubes or ports are less binding since I changed o-ring grease. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Steve Williams 0 Posted December 26, 2014 Hi Elmer, What o-ring grease did you change to? For your Subal rig? Steve Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

eyu 26 Posted December 26, 2014 (edited) Hi Elmer, What o-ring grease did you change to? For your Subal rig? Steve Steve, I changed over to Tribolube 71 a while ago. I simply got tired of carrying different proprietary greases for my black, yellow, blue, gray and red colored o-rings. I am not an engineer, but the coefficient of friction appears to be less and this lube/grease appears to stay moist or wet longer.
