problem with Pmax 826 - Inner casing

  • Hi,
    I have a problem with my Petromax 826 Inner casing
    This is an old style part with two large nuts (see pic)
    The lower one is loose and dose not fit the thread
    Question one - were can I get a new one? ?(


    Second thing is that the gas chamber (part #34) is stuck to the mixing tube
    I tried penetrating oil (WD40) with no success :wallbash:
    Any one can help on that.
    Because till I remove the Gas chamber I can’t replace the problematic nut. :(


    Third thing - can I use the Inner casing of a Petromax 829 I have a spare one
    I don’t want to - as I try to keep my lanterns as original as possible.


    Thank you all

    use a heater and warm up the gas chamber quickly and then try it to unscrew (but protect your hands against the heat)
