Re: Stuck Water distribution tube '35 893

I tried pulling mine out with a hook to no avail. What finally worked for me was to slip a thin strip of metal between the tube and the block, working it in and back to slightly bend and loosen the tube on the sides. Go around all the facets of the tube. I think BigKev mentioned this technique. Then, once it loosened up, I was able to grab it with needle nose pliers and pull it out.

Once out, you may have to straighten the tube side flat again with a hammer and some kind of long, flat piece of stock. It's pretty easy to shape brass where you want it to go.
