So I'm going to put a locline spray bar in my BC14 and from the reviews I've read online snapping together the ball sockets on loc line is VERY difficult without these pliers. Anyone have a pair I could borrow?

Good to hear, I figured with a little muscle it could be done until i read a review on Marinedepot by some dude saying he would boil the ends to get them to snap in.

You shouldn't have any problems. Maybe it was like a 14 year old kid or something. hahahah. I snap htem on and off pretty often. new and old alike. Not that difficult. Just make sure you assemble it the way you want it befor eyou screw it in. You don't want ot be pushing real hard against teh back wall of your tank..

Putting them together is no problem. But, getting them apart sometimes takes a little leverage. If two pieces are being stubborn I stick something soft(ish) like a rubberized pliers handle into one or both pieces. This usually gives me enough to pop them apart.

It was actually pretty easy, I just pushed down on it on the kitchen counter and it snapped right in.

Thanks all!
