Fly high fitting stuck.

[cmtaylor777]

Anyone have suggestions on how to get a stuck fitting out of a fly high bag? I am assuming that the person that had the sack before me used some cement of some sort. I need to switch the fittings but can't seem to break it loose.

Any suggestions?

If it is a factory bag they cement them in with pvc cement. if you heat the bag at the fitting for a minimum of 5 minutes with a blow dryer on high, not a heat gun (to hot), you but the heel of your shoe against the opposite side of the valve as you have been heating, and then push down 90 deg you can pop it out without doing damage however if you do it wrong it is easy to do damage, If you call Barefoot International (fly high) they can talk you thru it)

Ok Let me see if I have this straight.....After/during heating, I hold the fitting(bag side) by bracing the fitting with my heal and the ground???

Fastab,

Worked like a charm. Thanks for the advise.

When they told me to do this at fly high I was a little hesitant but it does work good as long as you heat it enough but not to much. Glad to hear you got it off.
