johnsmith Posted October 16, 2004 Report Share Posted October 16, 2004 Well it didn't take me long to screw up. I have broken the side clamp that holds things together & have a replacement but can't get the new clamp in. Does anyone have any suggestions? I've already taken out the four screws out of the top but the two sections don't come apart easily and I'm not about to yank them apart. Maybe I need to stick to those plastic boxes that sit in the corner of the tank :bang1: Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

johnsmith Posted October 19, 2004 Author Report Share Posted October 19, 2004 I ended up boiling the new clamp for a few minutes then popping it in with a butter knife. So now everything's running smoothly...for now. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Smokey Posted October 19, 2004 Report Share Posted October 19, 2004 Great idea, johnsmith. So, If I understand correctly, the locking bracket is held in_place by it's own design/shape.. Smokey :smokey: Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
