I have a few comments concerning that otherwise excellent article. First is that heat usually is counter productive in such a situation, where you have a brass part in aluminum. The brass expands more and faster than the surrounding aluminum, which actually makes it TIGHTER. You might be better off putting it in the freezer, although I never have. See next comment.
Secondly, while I respect the idea of tapping the brass tube, personally I tap the upper packing washer with a 3/8" tap, and pull it and the tube out at the same time. That is, if the washer doesn’t spin. You can re-use the threaded washer, maybe not so with the tube. Your choice.
Lloyd is quite ill at this time. You may have a problem getting parts from him—I dunno.
