Try getting the bush really hot by holding a soldering iron tip against it is all I can think of if it’s jammed up with loctite bud.
Hi chaps
I am in the process of replacing the inlet fill o rings on my bsa ultra se.
The gun was leaking from the fill port.
The ex head bolt spring and ball bearing have been removed,but the brass bush is stuck fast.
I think some clever Twat as used locktite or something similar to secure the ex head bolt.
There is a blue type material in the threads.
I have tried freeing oil and heat, but have had no luck so far.
Any ideas guys?.

It wont be Loctite thats the problem but corrosion. That nasty green verdigris that eats the copper in brass. Usually caused by moisture.
Remove main inlet body o ring and dunk the assembly in ordinary vinegar for a few hours. That will destroy the verdigris and hopefully free the brass sleeve.
I have finally unstuck the brass bush from the inlet assembly.
A soak in vinegar overnight and some heat from my new soldering iron,with the help of an easy-out stud remover.
Thanks to the guys for your helpful advice,it was much appreciated..
