    Replace 2" reducer bushing on air compressor

    I have a 60 gallon 5 HP US General air compressor. It has a 2 to 3/4 reducing bushing for the output air. I'd like to change this to 2 to 1" bushing. Does anyone know how hard these are to remove?

    Depends on how big your pipe wrench is. Sometimes they can be pretty tight.

    Make sure to hold both sides of the connection. One big wrench on each side. Otherwise you may unscrew something you were not planning to.
