Crown valve seat removal tool?

[JonasW]

I’m about to install some modified parts on my Crown, but I can’t get the valve seat loose.

Do you have any pictures on the tool you are using? Tried a thin plier but it just slips. Might have to modify one with grooves like Ernest Rowe had in a video. Just wanted to see if there was a tool that did the work without work done to it.

You need to modify it like Mr Rowe in order to get a good grip on the backside of it while removing it

I watch the video and I bet you could take a piece of plastic rod and makes some cut, open to the out side to hook the back side of the seal to just pull it out

I did notice he pushed and twisted in the video

I made the removal tool exactly like Ernest showed......worked perfectly.

I made my own insertion tool out of a chopstick and ball point pen.

Sounds like I have to modify a plier today then.

Thanks!

The hemostats are like $2 at Walmart. I found them in the fishing section. Soft metal so the dremel made easy work of them.

I just use a pick

I made a identical tool that Ernest had, 2 sec later the valve was gone.

The gun is back together with a new valve seat, transfer port and hammer weight.

I only got 15fps more at the same settings. But (!) I felt a strong push of air put of the hole on the side of the block when shooting. Do I have a broken o-ring somewhere?
