So I got a minty Compact 2000 with a Stab... basically my high school setup! I aired it up and... it spat black goo all over me.
Time to rebuild the stab.
I knew they put red all over the joint, so I torched it... no dice. Can't get the halves apart with a strap wrench. Put aluminum tape on the bottom, but it in the mini lathe chuck, but the tape tore through before the joint broke loose. So now it has a small idiot mark. Crap.
Time to get creative.
I slit a piece of 3/4" PVC conduit, wedged it open, and slid it over the end. Bit some Vise Grips into the plastic. Finally, some purchase!
Hopefully this saves the next guy's ano!
