I took mine off once. It takes a LOT of fiddling, but it goes back on. You just need to work it a bit.

Dunno, but that sucks. When I got my RX I thought the plastic fittings were pretty cheesey.

Yes you can glue it. A small shot of RTV will do it.

Thank god i have the AN fittings or i would have done the same crap.

Tracy will send you a replacement. As many times as I've had my catch can on/off testing other stuff and relocating I've never broken one of the fittings. That certainly is an interesting look at the check valve.

Contact RX and let them know. I'm sure he'll take care of you.

We send free replacements if this happens or just super glue will make it stronger than the manufacturer does. Just make sure the spring is in correctly (it is in the pic).
