Doing The Work Is The Best Way To Learn...We changed Some Hard Angle-Stops!

What happens here

After removing the old angle stop, the compression sleeve and nut often remain tightly crimped to the copper pipe. To remove these, insert the compression sleeve puller tool over the pipe and position its nut onto the old compression nut. Tighten the puller's nut with a ratchet. As you tighten, the puller's screw will press against the pipe, forcing the old compression sleeve and nut off the pipe. This method prevents damage to the copper pipe, which is crucial for a new leak-free connection. The video demonstrates this with two different puller tools, one a simple bolt and nut mechanism and another with a ratchet, highlighting the ease of the latter.

Goal: If the old compression sleeve (ferrule) is stuck on the copper pipe, use a specialized compression sleeve puller tool to remove it without damaging the pipe.

okay now our next tool is this little bad boy so what we want to do you want to just make sure this is sucked in as far as it can go take this tighten that down on that nut as far as it'll go and then just start ratcheting get this to where it started going and you can see as you start ratcheting this is just pulling out now damian is going to see in a second exactly what i mean on how much easier this tool is than the others we're actually going to go ahead we're going to take this
