Another GREAT video! Thank you for making the hand tool version as well, very informative and honestly your right that die tool is expensive, if your not planning to make many of them, mind as well get one from Mike, thanks Mike!
All I did was buy a 3/8 chisel and it was thick enough to fit in the slot and I used so pb blaster to loosen it up because they are very hard to get out but I got it out.
Yes, that can work. I did something like that when I first started collecting and fixing up lanterns until the day I ruined a mint rare/early 220b. I was devastated. Your mileage may vary but I don’t recommend removing a CV without this proper tool. Cheers.
Thanks! Yes, People have asked me that but the issue is 1.) they come in different shapes and sizes 2.) I need one to make one, which I don't. If you get me one for your stove, I can make you one.
Great video Mike. How can I purchase this great removal tool if your selling them? I live in Kits in Vancouver and I'm restoring a Coleman 220F & a 4M stove. This would be a great asset to have. Again great video......
Have a look at my other Coleman videos. But yes, you can spray Carb Clean down the pump tube onto the Check Valve. Remove the pump and stem first. Let it soak overnight. Cheers.
@@MikeFreda yeah I sprayed the carb cleaner in there last night. I’m gonna see if it worked when I get home from work tonight. Thank you for getting back to me
Yes, they do know. I’ve purchased the odd tap and die from Amazon before and they do work but I question the quality. The one I purchased for this video is a high end tool meant for proper production work. YMMV. Cheers.
Clever work on cutting the 7/16” flats and also machining the check valve end. You could have done the 1/4”-32 thread by single point threading and saved $75?
Thanks. Yes, there was a bit it thinking and set up to do to accomplish this. Yes, I tried to use the lathe to cut the thread but it just didn’t work out for me. It’s a pretty fine thread and I just couldn’t make it smooth. I could spend the money for a good threading tool or just get the die. I choose the latter.
Or....he could have used the $75 to buy 2 check valve tools. But, we hobby machinist are a sly bunch, why buy something when we can make it for 2 or 3 times the cost...lol Just to be clear, I'm not giving anyone a hard time, I've done similar things myself.....and probably will again....
Yes, that is what I looked into doing first. Unfortunately, I’m in Canada and the only tool available at the time was in the USA, with shipping and exchange rate it was way more than the Die and materials. I reached out to a couple local collectors and they said if I made a few, they would purchase them. In the long run I worked out for me. Thanks for commenting. Cheers.
Yes, that is true but I found that it was rough to get a consistent cut with 1/4” dia and 40tpi. That’s a pretty fine thread. Using a die is much easier not to mention changing the threading gears on my lathe is a pain. Cheers.
Well, I’m in Canada and I could not find a “low cost” so I went with a premium one. I’ve been told that you can get cheaper ones on eBay in the US. I planned to make a few so I didn’t mind paying for it. With taps and dies you do get what you pay for.

I want one. I have several camp stoves and yesterday, I purchased a 1945 Squad Stove that needs to be rebuilt/refurbished.
Awesome video. Got my subscribe
Thanks for the sub! Cheers
6:20...I'll have to remember that kink of holding the hex die in the lathe 3 jaw chuck!!!
Do you make cell them
Yes, I do make small batches from time to time. PM me or follow the link in the description sections. Cheers.
Great video Mike. Can you make a NRV removal tool too? :-)
Thanks! Yes, People have asked me that but the issue is 1.) they come in different shapes and sizes 2.) I need one to make one, which I don't. If you get me one for your stove, I can make you one.

Thanks for commenting. Yes, I have a couple in stock. Please PM me and we can work out the details.
Hi great vids on this. Hey could I use penetrating oil on my check valve with it still inside the lantern?
I’m not yet ready to try taking it out
Have a look at my other Coleman videos. But yes, you can spray Carb Clean down the pump tube onto the Check Valve. Remove the pump and stem first. Let it soak overnight. Cheers.

Amazon has a 1/4-32 UNEF tap and die set for $ 16 delivered.
Yes, they do know. I’ve purchased the odd tap and die from Amazon before and they do work but I question the quality. The one I purchased for this video is a high end tool meant for proper production work. YMMV. Cheers.
what size is the smaller rod
The smaller check valve thread pitch is 8x32.
Would you consider making one of these to sell?
Yes, I do make some to sell now and again. Please email me. My contact info is on my youtube page.

Mike, I am also interested in purchasing the check valve removal tool... what is the best way to get in touch with you..
Hello, there is an email link in the "About" Tab on my UA-cam Channel.
9:05...I'd have considered drilling out a 1/2-13 hex nut, and soldering THAT onto the end of the tube-!
Hey Mike, do you sell these or can you make one and send me to I'll pay for it?
Yes, I do. Please PM me for details.
@@MikeFreda there's no option to PM?
@@MikeFreda I’d be interested too but I don’t see an option to pm you
Why not just buy the damn tool and be done with it? That Die alone probably cost more than the actual tool itself.
Yes, that is what I looked into doing first. Unfortunately, I’m in Canada and the only tool available at the time was in the USA, with shipping and exchange rate it was way more than the Die and materials. I reached out to a couple local collectors and they said if I made a few, they would purchase them. In the long run I worked out for me. Thanks for commenting. Cheers.
With a lathe, no need to buy a die for threads.
Yes, that is true but I found that it was rough to get a consistent cut with 1/4” dia and 40tpi. That’s a pretty fine thread. Using a die is much easier not to mention changing the threading gears on my lathe is a pain. Cheers.
$75 for the die and you can buy a ready-made tool for $50, OK I guess.
Well, I’m in Canada and I could not find a “low cost” so I went with a premium one. I’ve been told that you can get cheaper ones on eBay in the US. I planned to make a few so I didn’t mind paying for it. With taps and dies you do get what you pay for.
@@MikeFreda I agree, but for someone just doing one ore two lights lt would not seem feasible .
