The AN4/1/4 NPT elbows that screw into the top of my aluminum gun drilled gear legs are leaking. Looks like they were both installed dry, so I've got to get them out to put PTFE on them.
I tried cutting a bit for clearance as you can see in the photo, but there isn't enough room to unscrew that fitting without it hitting the bottom skin. So basically it won't rotate a full 360.
If there was a such thing as an elbow with a short end on the AN side, I could cut these off and screw that in, as I only need about 3/32" more for clearance, but a google search was fruitless.
Any other options here besides pulling the gear legs?
