Removing Phelm Chamber

[Jaye R]

OK - I've taken all the bolts/wires/hoses/etc from around the phelm chamber - as per picture below...



NOW - how do I lift it off???? It WILL NOT budge

Can anyone please let me know what the knack to removal is?

Many thanks in advance

Cheers

Hey Jaye

have you really got a Phlegm chamber or is it a Plennum like mine ?

just spit at it ?

as Norman says it will need a sharp tap to break the seal

[Jaye R]

I thought that might be the case - thanks Norman. Rubber mallet or 'proper' hammer though??

Cheers

Dunno what mine was held on with but it took some shifting.
I used a couple of small steel fox wedges and drove them between the gasket to pop the seal, failing the wedges a soft mallet and a good hard smack should do.

In the absence of a mallet hold a piece of wood against it and whack that with a 2lb adjusting tool
