kh1991 Posted September 2, 2008 Share Posted September 2, 2008 I've tried searching but couldn't find any posts on how to remove them. I used a 12mm wrench to try and take the ball off but the whole thing spins. There's nothing to grab it from spinning while I loosen the nut. Is there a trick to this? Thanks.

GrimGreg Posted September 2, 2008 Share Posted September 2, 2008 Use something like channel locks to grab the base, or the back side. Might try a little PB Blaster on the nut too. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
kh1991 Posted September 2, 2008 Author Share Posted September 2, 2008 thanks.. i'll try using them again... not enough to grip with the channel locks.. i'll try that PB idea as well.. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MY1PATH Posted September 2, 2008 Share Posted September 2, 2008 I cut about 1/8 off of each side of the round piece so i could put a crecent wrench over it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
kh1991 Posted September 2, 2008 Author Share Posted September 2, 2008 (edited) that's an idea.. i can try cut a slot for a flathead screw driver. i think there's enough metal to make a groove to not mess up that round piece on the outside part..

Indigent Posted September 4, 2008 Share Posted September 4, 2008 I just put a pair of needle nosed vice grips over top of the nub on the outside to the base on the inside of the glass. I then had just barely enough room to get a 10mm open end wrench on the nut in there. indigent. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
kh1991 Posted September 9, 2008 Author Share Posted September 9, 2008 thanks all for the ideas.. i ended up using some needle nose vise grips and was able to take them off... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
