Vivotek IP8332-C can't remove the end cap

[rwassell]

Hi,

I have a Vivotek IP8332-C which was installed outside for about 6 months. I've taken it down and I can't open it.

The end cap is seized onto the barrel and I wonder if someone had any idea for how I can unscrew it.

I have grips and grippers but the barrel/cap is too large to get the grips around so I don't have anything that opens that far.

It was originally only grip tightened when installed so the weather must have caused it to seize up.

Has anyone had anything like this happen before and can you provide any suggestions as to how I could unscrew it?

Thanks

Rob

Sometimes a small squirt of WD40 left for a while works wonders.
