Stash and Oil Tube Cap Question

[awssome05]

Just a quick question all. I am ordering a set of spike caps for my stash tube and oil cooler tube and Im having a really hard time getting the oil cooler tube cap off. Is this pressurized with the oil in it or is it just being stubborn. The stash tube comes off really easy. Any suggestions on getting the cap off with out damaging the cap or the tube?

Thanks

Try a small strap wrench. or a water pump pliers with a rag wrapped around the cap

I removed mine with a water pump plier and a rag.

The oil cooler has a solid top. these tops screws on for decoration, there is no pressure on it. Oil can not even get to the tops. like I said, they are for decoration use only. Use a strap wrench to remove the old tops. Some people including myself use Loc-tite so top will not vibrate off. This is highly recommended on the bottom one on the stash tube and tighted the hell out of it.

Some have a small trip wire and are packed with C-4. Hope it's not one of those

I thought they were stuffed with Heroin with a remote trip button to the DEA.:lol:

They can be hard to get off. I used a rag and channel locks on mine.

Stash tubes ?
I thought we were supposed to get a 2 foot length of 1 " ID clear
hose. Fill it with $ or whatever you feel necessary close with a wine bottle cork.
Put in gas tank . WA LA .
