Ok where can I get the little ball bearing that locks the airflow control in place I seem to have lost it. I have the ball from a pen in now but its a bit too small

You probably can't get one from Kanger, I would try steel shot the kind reloaders use, might find one the right size. I had no idea you could take it apart that far I normally just rinse it off with hot tap water dry it off and use it.

I used the ball out of an old yellow ink marker so far so good lol. Rich I accidently screwed that section apart lol

I feel cheated I can't unscrew mine. I haven't tried the vise and pipe wrench yet though.

Try the big hammer, Rich. That usually does it for me.  :lol:

Hold the bottom section of the setion of the airflow and the top unscrew the bottom section

But dont do that because the little bearing will fall out. :lol:

Seriously, that sucker is like the eyeball of a gnat. Mine cones off easily and I have to make extra effort not to unscrew base incorrectly or that thing flys off.

It will work without the bearing, it just won't "click" in to place.

I got it to unscrew but didn't unscrew it, don't want to lose the ball. I'm good at taking things apart and not getting them back together right. Think I might just leave it alone. I always have spare parts when I put cars back together.

Grandpa always said... if you don't have something left over,  you didn't do it right :)

Ever find a replacement? I just had the same issue with my subtank plus. Going to fill it and before I knew it the little ball tink tink tinked itself across the garage floor and into the unknown. Tried the last known area with a magnet out of a hard drive with no success.
