BSA R10 Buddy bottle

[danam1]

Hi all,
The buddy bottle on my mates R10 won’t hold any air after taking it off the gun.
I’m assuming the valve is knackered or blown a seal?
Trouble is I cannot undo it as it’s too tight! Any suggestions greatly appreciated.
Thanks

You could try soft jaws on a vice to hold the bottle,
It might make it easier. Good luck with it, Martin

thats the way i done mine with a cloth around it so as not to damage it

Tried that and it won’t budge!
It’s not a left hand thread is it?

I can't honestly remember mate, I wouldn't of thought so.
If it's empty and you can't get a peep out of it, it might be best getting professional advice.

I wouldn't want to suggest anything dangerous, like putting a bar on the spanner and pushing it with your foot....

Hope you get it sorted Martin

Try heating it up with boiling water from a kettle on the neck of the buddy bottle, I did this once and it seemed to work.

And it’s definitely a standard thread
