redwatch Posted March 4, 2010 Report Share Posted March 4, 2010 Quick question for the community. I got a new crown for my PAM 112h and I am wondering if there is a special trick for removing the stem from my current crown? Also wondering where I can get a few spares. I know ofrei has them, but I am wondering if there is a better source? Or maybe a member or two has some I could buy? Thanks! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
NoobyPanFan Posted March 4, 2010 Report Share Posted March 4, 2010 If it is stuck or seems tight... Heat it up with a blow dryer quick and hold one end with a needle-nose pliers and twist. Should come right off. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Drulee Posted March 4, 2010 Report Share Posted March 4, 2010 I find the easiest way to remove the crowns from stems is to use a pin vice, insert the stem in, tighten, slowly turn the crown CCW (too quick or too hard and you may break the stem -or so I hear). I have been able to remove every crown that I've tried, whether loctite has been applied or something stronger. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
redwatch Posted March 7, 2010 Author Report Share Posted March 7, 2010 Since I don't have a pin vise (yet), I went for the heat gun option. Worked like a champ! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
