I was waiting for my rad to come, and I was testing my tubing on my waterblock, the tc-4 rev 2. I pushed it on, and as I was taking it off I turned the plastic barb a little! But I quickly retighented it. Did I hurt anything??

Agg, I also did not wet the end of my tubing, and NOW IT WONT COME OFF!!

Shouldnt have hurt it, if your worried you can get some silicon sealant and seal the threads a bit.

If the tubing is still stuck, you can heat it under some hot tap water, to get it a bit softer. That should loosen its grip.

Otherwise you might want to start hitting the gym

I mean, ITS REALLY STUCK ON THERE! It will turn, but it wont go up. You are supposed to push teh tubing all the way down onto the barbs right? not like halfway or somehthing?

Just cut it off the barb carefully and try again with a new piece of tubing.
