You can just send it back for repair with the cable connected. They'll
`just charge you an extra hour of labor to take it off...

Thanks all for your useful insights - even found the wrench to help dislodge the
flush air tubing.
However the gradient controller is still stuck - will try again Monday. Bit easy
enough to take the probe out with only one cable attached.
Wobb and Atmm still don't work, so I think the next step is to send
the probe out for repairs

Hi All. Following up on Gary’s mention of the technique for removing
tubing from the push-to-connect fittings: I recommend using the little SMA
connector wrench supplied with the Bruker console spares kit (see attached
photo). Sliding the square opening of this wrench along the tubing, you can
push on the connector ring with better leverage than you can normally achieve
without the tool.
This is a trick I learned from a visiting Bruker engineer years ago, and I
use it regularly. In particular, I have a probe that just doesn’t
want to give up its flush gas line, and using this wrench has mad the removal
possible.
Before replacement, I also recommend trimming off ~ 1cm from the end of the
tubing with a razor blade so you get a cleaner surface. Chewed-up tubing
appears to snag more, so trimming today will do your future self a favor.
Enjoy! Josh
