Thanks :) I'll let you know how it works out later :P

Get yourself a piece of dowel about 1/2 x 4" and a rawhide mallet. Place the
end of the dowel against the ring at a slight angle. Using the rawhide
mallet strike the dowel a number of sharp blows, rotating around the ring in
a clockwise direction. Remember, a lot of little taps is better

William,
This is very true, but you only need to move it a few thousands of an
inch
with the belt to get it
started. Then it should come off by hand.

On second thoughts I can see why they from a mechanical view should be stuck
there. I am taking into account that a valve that drifts downward isn't a good
thing :P
Oh well, thanks for the advice. At least I can clean out the rest.

Well the reason why I want to clean out everything is because I can look with
a flashlight and tell that there is some dirt that I want to get rid of, and
well the little ultrasonic cleaner I have isn't big enough to support the
entire horn :P Also, I do wish to be thorough since soap and water
I agree the company made it that way for a reason. Leave well enough alone.
I clean the horn by taking the rotor's out flushing with warm soapy water the
flushing with clean water. If you want let it soak for a while then rinse.
Works well for me.

I'm finding it difficult to get it to move that first few thousandths of an
inch. I'm going to spray a little more WD40 in there, let it sit, but if it
doesn't budge after that I wonder if some guy didn't put loc-tite or something in
there

The pliars were in jest only :P
I found a nice sized belt but it's really hard to get a grip on things in
there.

William,
No ,do not resort to wrenches or pliers.
You could use a thin leather belt- about 1/2" wide.
Wrap the belt around the ring, pull it tightly around the ring with your
fingers, and holding it in that position try to unscrew the ring.
Use light pressure and do not force it , but this gives
I knew it :)
I actually sprayed some WD40 in there an hour ago and I can't get them out by
hand. Do they make strap wrenches or anything small enough to use? I
definately don't want to start using pliars.

William,
The screw rings on a E.Schmid horn are NOT soldered.
You might want to try some Wd-40 on the rings. Let it sit in the threads
for an hour or so and try removing them by hand again.

Well I can see screw threads near them and no solder anywhere.
