Remove fittings from MCW50

Enigma422 · Aug 9, 2004

Topic pretty much says it all. I have a MCW50 waterblock with the 1/2" adapter fittings and I am trying to install the adapter for my 6800GT, but the fittings are getting in my way. How do you remove these fittings. Tried pulling them out, but they don't want to budge, don't want to risk breaking this block. Thanks.

Hmmm... I am looking at a pic of it and it looks like there are not barbs on it. Is the same block you have http://www.swiftnets.com/products/mcw50.asp#

Yup, that is the block I have, but I have these fittings on them so I could use the block in my 1/2" system.

I have this block too. If i remember right, you have to keep the little gray part on the block from pulling out with the barb, or it wont come loose... Seen in this picture: http://www.swiftnets.com/assets/images/products/MCW50/MCW50.jpg

Hold those against the block while pulling/twisting the barb and it should come out easily enough.

push the little gray part of the block toward the block with one finger and at the same time pull the fittings out. It was very easy for me.

Thanks got it off.

EDIT: Now I am having trouble putting on the adaptor kit onto the block. The thing only goes half way down. Anybody use the adaptor kit of the 6800 GT? Was it easy for you to place the adapter kit? Thanks again.

BTW, if worse comes to worse I was thinking of taking a little off the adapter with my dremmel.

EDIT 2: Figured it out.
