Help!!! Loc Line issues

They make a tool to separate the pieces, but lacking that, immerse in very hot water and that should make the plastic more pliable.

the problem with that is that the loc line tubing is in my aquarium. Also, in vancouver, only JL carries that tool, and only in the 1/2" size, not the 3/4" size. Dang.....

Any ideas?

The end of the loc line is screwed into a pipe. Could you take it apart there? Might have to lower the level of water a bit.
Maybe someone has a tool you could borrow

Cant, because the assembly cant be rotated 360 degrees. Someone probably does have the tool, but I would like to have one on hand, if i was ever to put it back together.

Still looking for solutions. Any ideas?

I assembled mine by hand and also took it apart by hand. just bend the coil back on itself and it'll come free.

Thanks. I'll keep working on it. Keep posted.

You could have had one ordered from Marine depot by now.
