Anybody got any tips on how to remove a jammed Wash-iT Pro DI housing? I almost broke the black plastic wrench trying to get it off, and it won't budge. And before all you wise guys jump all over me, yes, I am turning the wrench in the correct direction. :D The housing has a normal right hand thread, so it comes off in the normal fashion. You have to turn in the opposite direction to the marking on the wrench because on the Wash-iT Pro the DI housing is installed upside down.
As far as I recall, I did use the magic lube on the threads when I assembled it after the last resin change. I have tried tapping the wrench with a piece of wood, and with a rubber mallet - nothing. I tried putting a piece of pipe over the wrench handle, and the handle just started to bend. I've tried gently tapping the housing around the thread area with a rubber mallet to try to shake it loose - nothing. I'm out of ideas. I haven't tried a heat gun on the threads yet.
Anyone out there had a similar problem, or have any constructive ideas?
Thanks guys.
