I'm playing hell trying to get my YHM Mite appart to clean it. I coverenc the entire baffle and the threads in anti sieze last time i put it together. i think I had too much fun at the range last time and put about 800-1000 rounds through it. I have the tool mounted in a vice and a strap wrench on the can and I can't get it to break free. The strap wrench is just spinning. I even soaked the can in WD-40 over night. Any suggestions? |
and heat it to 350 for about 5 min. Then take the strap wrench with the tool in the vise and it will come apart. I only had the issue when mine was new and I ran 2K round thru it on full auto.

Easiest way to get it open............... Wrap the Mite with vinyl electrical tape. Get a wooden 2x2 and drill a 1" hole through it. Once you drill a hole in it, cut it in half.......you now have two 'C' blocks. Place the covered Mite in the wooden blocks and place it in the vice, dont be afraid, you can really wrench it down. use the supplied take-down tool in a socket wrench and remove the core. Easy as pie. |
OMG! i just sent my can back to get it appart. Good info im just a day late and a dollar short. Wait Diesel is 4.25 that would be 4.24 short.  Will keep this in mind next time. thanks rouge |

I take the takedown tool with me to the range. After a couple hundred rounds, I break it loose while it is still warm. If you are using a rubber strap wrench, they suck. These actually work: Real Strap Wrench. |
The rubber coated steel clamp type work better. Finding them in obscure, non-oil filter diameters is tough. (maybe impossible.) |
Mission not impossible, DMC STRAP WRENCH |
