What's the easiest way to remove the output fitting? Want to use the NPT in body, thread seems to be glued shut and a wrench isn't enough to break it.

I took the factory outlet firing out to use a quick coupler for an air hose. I clamped it in a bench vise and used a wrench and it came right out.

I did the same thing, filling race tires with a standard hose and quick connect. It's been some time, but I recall having to put the regulator in to my vise, gently/carefully, but it did break free eventually. I looked at adapters, I seem to recall some issue with those.

I used a very small allen wrench and used a lot of pressure. I didn't have a correct tool. I just tried my best to keep the opposite end still to tighten the screws. Ultimately one of the screws got lost, and I ended up replacing it with a small bolt and screwed a nut on and added epoxy glue.

The out is 1/2 i.d. tube fitting on it but can be removed to have a 1in npt. You can get a bushing to do this at lowes to bring it to a 1/4 npt thats what I did.

I don't know what exactly it could be but, the OEM nut came off without having to work very hard so when I reinstalled the new sensor I just estimated how hard it was to get off. Basically just torqued it down to finger tight and then two and half turns which made it pretty darn snug. Haven't had any issues yet! Sorry I can't help more.

I've taken similar ones apart before, all you need is a long small Phillips screwdriver. I just hope you had better luck with yours than I did, I didn't use it for a few weeks after I got it and after about two days it started making such a racket it was a joke, after I let it run for a few hours it works fine but as soon as I have time it's coming apart for an overhaul.

Use a plastic screw (food grade and high temp suitable - e.g. for water lines) - that is the best option I can give you. The threads seems to be non-standard.You should also try getting the correct nuts from the seller.

That is the one that quit on me also. When you pull your needle off and put it back on the new motor just align it on (0) i found it helpfull to follow the youtube video. If it is not right just take it apart again and realign the needle i had to do that two times to get everything right.

I haven't had that problem since mine screws on and stays on till I take it off. If the design hasn't changed and the black tip still screws on, I would exchange it. That sounds like the threads aren't holding it in.

Same here. Either cut the pigtail off and hardwire it or make Amazon replace it. They will send you a shipping label for return. Terrible quality control, I mean Jesus, how hard is it for the assembler to go ,oops, I put the wrong gender plug on. His/her boss comes up behind him/her, and says, ship it ! It's only going to America !

Take out the metal part and pull. It was tight for me initially but easier now. If it's not coming out pull harder!

I did not try to do this so I cannot really provide any specific direction. However, if I were attempting to do this the first step I would take would be to heat the current plastic fitting with a hair dryer and hope that this might (note....might, no assurance,) loosen the fittings up so I could twist them off with pliers.

Well I'm not looking at mine at the moment but I imagine you could but before I got out the knife I would take a good long look at the fittings to see if you can remove them without destroying them. If that is possible then I would reattach in the reverse way you removed it. Should you not be able to remove one end or the other I suggest calling Bosch and speak to a Technician. You can try Bosch directly or you could try CPO Bosch.

I am sure the mechanics have a special tool. I used a needle nose plier, as recommended, but they did not do so well. The tips of the plier must fit into the slots on the threaded bolt and the plier must be kept at the right position. You got to try this to understand. It's "tricky", but it can be done without a special tool.

I took it to a Hitachi service guy. Basically he took it all apart and forced it on. There must be an easier way.So I would appreciate how to do it.ThanksRCR

The threads are NPT and means they are tapered and not a straight thread like a bolt. The more you screw it in the tighter it gets.

there was a threaded nut soldered into the base of mine. I just screwed the center post into it, put a drop of clear nail polish, and tightened it up. Mine works just fine. Hope this helped.

Try some WD-40. It has sediment in the threads. You just need to work at it and tap it on something. Or find some one to help you.
