Okay, so I ordered a new Evil hammer for my Impulse because my stock one cracked. I cannot get the old hammer off of the rod though. I tried to boil it and then use two towels to unscrew it but the rod slips in the towel. So then I tried to do it with a pair of pliers and a towel, but it was far too hard to unscrew. Does anyone have a method that works?
for future reference. if you scathed up the ram in this process, i'd suggest replacing that as well before screwing up the front ram housing o-ring and wondering why there's now a leak.
Thanks again, I got it off now. I assume that putting my new hammer on without loctite is not a good idea right? I could always go get some tomorrow. Oh yeah, my ram is fine I made sure I didn't scratch it up or anything.
red works fine. the hair dryer method always works with me. the only part i boil is the hammer and with that i can unscrew it by hand (with a rag of course)
i dont fool around with hair dryer/ boiling water either! I spent the $10 bucks and bought the NDZ tool for removing the hammer awhile back! Its quite handy actually.
