Pay special attention to this photo. Like his fellow confessed
hack,
Maxprop,
Nellen doesn't know what tools are needed to do jobs properly.
Like Max,
Nellen
has damaged hardware by using vice-grips, rather than a properly
sized
wrench.
Look at that gouge! Bristol? Ouch!

Does not appear to be vice grip damage. No teeth marks and the
edge
of the
face is not rounded. It more resembles the work of a pipe wrench
if
anything.


Hack work with the wrong tools, regardless. That nasty scar could
easily
be from
vicegrips or channel-loks. Highly doubtful that it was a pipe
wrench.

Looks like he used a flat head screwdriver and a hammer to break it
loose.

That would be a pretty bizarre and ineffective thing to do. Put
proper
sized
wrenchs on the flats of the two parts and they always come apart
without much
fuss if they were properly assembled to begin with. Then again,
Nellen
specializes in being bizarre and ineffective...

All you Bozos prove by your ignorant statements that you have NEVER
reused a Sta-Lok fitting. Had any of you lamers ever reused a Sta-Lok
fitting you would know that to disassemble them one must first clamp
the
terminal body upside down in the jaws of a vice at the eye/pin area.
Then a wrench is used to spin the compression nut out of the body.
Then
one must clamp the compression nut in the jaws of a vice. Then one
must
use a hacksaw to cut the wire flush with the compression nut. With
the
compression nut still firmly clamped in the jaws of the vice one uses
a
punch to knock out the crimped wire/cone remains from the compression
nut. Those marks on the side you see were most like the result of the
vice jaws and if any marks are noted on the top of the compression nut
it was probably the result of it being "kissed" by the hacksaw blade.

What a bunch of ruckin' fetards! But, keep trying. One of these days
you might convince yourselves that you know even a tiny bit about
Bristol standing rigging.

Why not use a set of heavy diagnol cutters to cut the wire flush
strand by strand. You can knock out the compression cone from the wire
in end of the nut by simply setting it on top of the vice with the
jaws spread enough to support the nut and enough clearance for the
parts to come out. You can even use a six or twelve point socket held
in the vise with the nut in the socket. The picture shows unsat work.

A jig to fit the sides of the fitting would be a better thing than
taking a chance on buggering the threads by resting the base of the
compression nut on a hard split surface like a vice. If you've worked
with stainless steel threads you know it's important to not get any
spaulding as it will soon render the threads inoperable. This is so
important that one must use blue Locktite on the threads when fitting
the terminal together more to protect, seal and lubricate the threads
than to keep them locked in place.

But, give a world class, professional level marine mechanic the likes of
the World Famous Mariner, Capt. Neal, a choice between lightly marring
the wrench surface of the terminal which is strictly cosmetic and
buggering or collapsing the operational threads thus rendering the
terminal inoperable, the mechanic will always select the first option.
