Iwata HP-CS dis-assembly hiccup

Hi Dave,

That's the "drop in" unthreaded nozzle/cone isn't it? Haven't got one myself, butI I would try a drop of lacquer thinner applied to the rim of the recess to see if that might help soften any dried paint which may be causing it to stick 

Thanks...  I did forget to mention that I soaked the stupid think in lacquer thinner for about 10 minutes with no luck.  Maybe I'll give it another go.

You could try really hot water...the slight differences in the metals should make them expand enough to start budging.

very odd that LT didnt work. but then this is a brass cone and it may have some corrosion built up in between the two parts.

I just cleaned mine and used Media lube shot through it, a good drop is enough, just remember to clean it with LT or paint thinner again before you spray, but it really helps overall.
