[T3] Breather Box

[Daniel K. Du Vall]

Thanks I will keep this in mind heat sounds like a good idea if it's not budging. Would rather try that than break it.

The first one I bought was actually too large to fit inside 1" npt pipe, so be careful. If you can take a piece of pipe with you (or use a piece that's there) to make sure it fits, that would be good.

I had one where the threads were so tight that this "deluxe" style actually split the "nut" and broke the breather stand, so be careful. 
I wish I'd used a little heat instead of a lot more force, but I don't really know if that would have helped.

Some of these are easy, some are hard.
