BS Astro Filter Wheel - Stuck?!

[Stephen]

Any pointers welcomed

My new (S/H) filter wheel arrived today, and to the best of my knowledge - the male t-thread adaptor should remove from the front to give me the option of moving it to the back, or using the 1.25" barrel adaptor instead.

For the life of me though, I can't make this move. Any pointers welcomed

Get a bag of frozen peas and put them inside the adaptor to cool it. This might just help you get the adaptor off.

Worth a shot

Thanks for the suggestion, neither the frozen peas directly, nor the freezer worked.

However I tried the inverse - in the oven at 60 degrees for 2 minutes.

Popped off without any effort at all

Well it had to be one way or the other. I was going to suggest a blow lamp but realised that not everybody has one!
