    Aeron Brno B96 compensator

    Have an Aeron B96 from days of old. Trying to remove the compensator and not having any joy... Its prob never been removed (I've owned it for 15+ years). It just wont budge. Tried WD40 and all sorts.. Is there anything else I can do before I put it in a vice and forcefully remove it? All help welcome..

    Heat?

    Have you tried using a bit of heat? I’m guessing the compensator is aluminium and the barrel is steel, since aluminium had a greater coefficient of thermal expansion than steel it should loosen when it’s heated. Try a hairdryer or a heat gun on low setting.
