Hey was just wondering if anyone could help. I just purchased a tempest v1 body/heatshield and I can't seem to seperate the the 2 pieces of the body. Am I missing something? Removing skin fro. My fingers trying to pull them apart

I've attempted that already with no luck. There's a bit of movement but not enough to release it. I've guessing the previous owner didn't use no lube on the o-rings and never took it apart so it's seized on the o-ring

Have you tried heating it up to make the metal expand a little first?

I just got it off with wooden dowl that fit perfectly and heated the body. It ended up popping out. I was genuinely starting to think I had made up the idea of it being in 2 pieces
