Topic: Help/Advice PTFE CLASP FITTING/FEED END

Hi

Trying to fit a new PTFE at the FEED end but it looks like it may be a push fitting with a nylon/plastic ring to hold it in place, has anyone replaced one like this & if so how do you get the coller out that is stuck inside ?

seems an odd design to me..i cant remove the coller thats inside, you can just see it in the photo hopefully.

You need to take the extruder out first. Then you can see the side view of the extruder.

There is a small hole under the hose connector, there is hex nuts inside, align with the hose connector and screw it.

Before you take the extruder out, google for procedure or youtube video on how to take jr. apart and how to re-assemble it. If you are not confident yet, don't start, you are likely unable to mount it back or break the plastic fitting on the side panel.
