Hard to remove Sea & Sea ports

I have a hard time to remove my ports of my Sea & Sea DX60 housing. The removal of the dome port is OK, but my extension ring is almost impossible to remove, I'm just unable to rotate the port. I think it is the material of the O-ring that causes this problem. Are there any other users with the same problem and a possible solution.

Are you using the correct o-ring lube? Sea&Sea yellow and blue tube for the blue o-rings. Sea&Sea yellow and black tube for the black o-rings.

I always have to use a strap wrench to rotate mine after they have been to depth.

Good luck,

Steve

One of those special devices for removing oil filters from car engines. Looks like a length of bicycle chain with a handle on one end. Tension it right before turning and it should not slip and scratch. Most auto parts or hardware shops will sell it.

All thanks for the reply, looks like it is normal for this housing/ports. I didn't know about the greases but I was using the correct type.

Yes is normal for Sea&Sea Housing-ports
