What’s the best way to remove a stuck choke?

Removes severely stuck tubes without damage to choke or barrel. Rod fits through barrel; heavy spring pressure clamps head into tube notches. Hex-end head lets you use a wrench for lots of leverage to easily unscrew the tube. Adjustable; works with any length barrel.

How do you get a choke tube out of a rifle?

Once the choke tube was heated (I spotted some smoke rising from the Kroil burning off of the threads), I used a Briley speed wrench with the handle removed and a cheater pipe to break the tube loose. With the choke tube out, you can see the problem; water had managed to work its way into the threads and create rust which seized the tube in place.

What happens if a choke tube gets stuck?

If you don’t maintain the interchangeable choke tubes, they can seize in place creating a big problem. Recently, a customer brought in a stainless steel Browning BT99 trap gun that had a stuck choke tube. In this post, we’ll take a look at one way to remove them.

How to get a choke tube out of a hair dryer?

Have all you stuff ready ( hair dryer, tube wrench and soft jaws for the vice ). Remove the barrel from the freezer, snug it in the soft jaws, apply low heat to the barrel briefly to heat the “barrel” and insert the wrench to loosen the tube. Idea is to expand the barrel just a little to allow the tube to turn out.

Can a choke be removed from a rifle?

It was so tightly fused, that after he soaked the barrel in oil, the owner broke a series of wrenches attempting to remove it. He decided to bring it to me. Good move. With the fine threads on a choke system, you need to proceed with caution. Too much force and you could potentially strip the threads from the barrel, ruining it.

What happens if you hit the choke key?

Hit the choke key with a hammer and you will cause further damage. You are generating several tons of pressure by holding the barrels in an odinary engineer’s vice. Even if you gripped the barrels lightly you’d almost certainly force one or both of the barrels out of round. You’d probably scuff the blacking too.

Can I unplug my mass airflow sensor?

If you plug it in it will die if the car is running. If you unplug the mass air flow sensor the car will start. If you try to plug it in while it’s running the car will die.

What kind of air flow sensor does a VW use?

Before I go on, let me tell you that VW uses several types of mass air flow sensors (also known as Air Flow Meters), for the most part they can be divided into two categories. One type has a connector with 4 slots for only 4 male spade terminals and the other has 5 slots for 5 or 4 male spade terminals.

How do you remove the sensor from a VW?

If you are choosing to remove the sensor only (which I recommend if you have regular 6-point Torx screws): Unscrew the two bolts in front of and behind the harness plug. Gently wiggle the sensor out of the housing.

How many wires does a VW MAF sensor have?

You’ll need to unplug the MAF on your VW to make sure, since some MAF sensors with 5 male spade terminals only have four wires coming out of the connector. You can see an example of this here: MAF Sensor With 5 Slot Connector With 4 Wires.

Why does my VW not set a MAF code?

The car will not idle or idle rough. Black smoke coming from the tail-pipe. A tremendous lack of power upon acceleration. In other words, you can start the car, but when you press the accelerator pedal, the car just won’t move. A MAF sensor code. But not always. I have replaced fried MAF sensors on different VW’s that never set a MAF code.
