Title: Repair assistance requested
Post by: gw99 on June 05, 2015, 08:28:24 am

Hello,

I recently purchased a sundance maxxus (2006) used. While installing electrical, a hose fitting was knocked off of pump #2. I will try to attach pictures. It looks like the plastic itself broke. Can someone please assist  me in the best way to fix this myself?

 I think it is 1/4 inch in diameter threads and 3/8 inch barb.....usually you can tap a screwdriver into it and unscrew it. If not, you can drill it out and use a tap to re-thread it.

Or a larger screw extractor.

Those are nice guys, but they usually come right out before you would have time to get to the truck to get the extractor
