Need Help with Idle Tubes

<< < (2/2)

omaha:
maybe air pressure (blowgun)?  Maybe blown through the  hole for the jets.  Alot of tapping on the bottom side with a small brass hammer?   Really small tweezers.

Cliff Ruggles:
I pull them out with a modified drywall screws.  Grind the sides about 1/2" up so it will to down in the hole, but leave the sharp tip.  Very carefully put the tip of the drywall screw into the top of the idle tube, and tighten it about 1/4 turn with a screwdriving, pushing down firmly on it at the same time.  With a pair of wire snips, gently pry the drywall screw up and out of the casting, it should bring the tube up with it....Cliff
