Ragn0r Posted February 21, 2018 Report Share Posted February 21, 2018 Is it possible to rotate the top of the reservoir so the ports can be better aligned? Being persnickety I would like to rotate the top so Thermaltake script is in line with the front of the Tower 900 case it is in. In the attached image I would like to rotate the top about 30 degrees counterclockwise. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ThermalMike Posted February 22, 2018 Report Share Posted February 22, 2018 Hi, Yes you can tighten or loosen it to get it to turn the way you want it to work best for your tube runs, I do it all the time. Consider you have 2 turning points, the cylinder that screws into the base and the top cap. Making adjustments to both of them should do the trick. Now if it is still not there, what I like to do is take off the top cap then the cylinder and flip the cylinder around so the bottom is now the top and instll the top cap. The way the threads go will give you a different result and its just some adjustment that you can do to get it just right. Consider as well you can swap the down stem to the other side too as well. I see you have coolant in there or maybe just distilled water, just drain it enough from the res and should be fine to make some changes Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ragn0r Posted February 25, 2018 Author Report Share Posted February 25, 2018 What tools do I need to loosen the cap or res? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ThermalMike Posted February 26, 2018 Report Share Posted February 26, 2018 Hi, You dont need any tools, the top cap is threaded so it screws on to the base and the cap screws onto the top of the cylinder. It could be a tight fit to break it loose, rubber gloves do the trick, dont use any tools through or it could get damaged. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ragn0r Posted February 27, 2018 Author Report Share Posted February 27, 2018 I need larger hands and broader shoulders eh! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ragn0r Posted February 27, 2018 Author Report Share Posted February 27, 2018 I was able to unscrew the res using both hands and a strong grip. Had to go over to my brothers modern Collision Repair shop and one of the techs had a neat tool (oil filter wrench) that made it easy to remove the top cap without any maring.
