How do I get the valve assembly off, no vice or blowtorch yet. And how do I also remove the cleaning lever, it seems to keep spinning forever but not coming off helpppp
Do you have wood fence? Find a gap between two, insert the valve and turn the fount. For the lever get a set of pliers and apply heat with a torch to the location where packing material is located then pull. This is how I do
I don't have a wood fence unfortunately, I'm thinking of buying a vice just for this. It seems like it requires a extreme amount of torque to remove it, I've been told it's cemented in place. I plan on getting a blow torch in 2 days for the removal. So there's a packing tube where the lever thing is? How do I go about removing it, I can't even see it
For the lever, if it doesn't leak, just leave it in place. Unless there is a problem with it, it is not worth the effort to get out.
As Nils said, If it doesn't leak, just leave it in place. Unless there is a problem with it, it is not worth the effort to get out. It takes a lot of force to remove and you run a good chance of damaging it. A vice is the easiest way to remove the valve, otherwise work out a way to clamp the valve to the bench. Or you can modify a socket like this but you'll need a second set of hands to hold the tank. Classic coleman tools fuel valve removal tool - Page 1 - The Coleman Collectors Forum
Ok. But why do you want to take them off? The lantern is kerosene and has straight pick up tube not F/A like gasoline lantern so no need to service it. Second if the cleaning lever is leaking or the eccentric block is no moving then you probably would have to take it off otherwise there is no need. But as I told you above using a torch and heating the area then straight pull with pliers and you’re are done.
