So I ordered and just received, from Forster, their drill adapter. The instructions say you just screw off the crank handle, counter clockwise.
When I cranked that way, I got no give and the piston just rotated with the crank handle.
I used some rubber gloves and a rubber padded vice grip to hold it in place while "unscrewing" but nothing was happening, I was able to "break free" and get counter clock motion with the piston remaining still, but it wasn't unscrewing.
I gave it a wiggle and it came free, but crank is smooth, not threaded. The threaded adapter will not fit as is.
It might be a threaded sleeve that got stuck on the crank shaft?
Any ideas?
