Madbull Grenade Fill valve
Hi there.
I recently got my hands on a MadBull M576 Rubber Slug Shot grenade, which is a ton of fun to shoot. But I managed to break the fill valve in my last shot, which fired the top portion of the fill valve and the o-ring, leaving just the cylinder portion of the fill valve inside my grenade shell. My question is: how do I replace the MadBull fill valve in my grenade shell? Help would be much appreciated, – Thanks

if i'm reading this right you're saying you blew the head off the fill valve like popping off the a flower off the stem?

Correct.
I have the top round "head" which has separated from the main "stem" of the fill valve. The little o-ring which sits below the round "head" is gone and the "stem" is still in the original spot in the grenade. Hope that makes sense. I can take pics if that helps... edit - here is a picture of the Mabull replacement fill valves to better illustrate what I am talking about:

update - after thinking about it for a while, I realized the remaining "stem" of the valve in the grenade must be still screwed in even though the "head" of the valve had broken and separated completely. I used a pair of long-needle nose pliers and managed to grip the remaining "stem" of the valve in the grenade and turn at the same time. After awhile I was able to slowly get the valve unscrewed and free from the grenade.
A new Madbull replacement valve should fix this and having a couple extra backups might not hurt in case this happens again (hopefully not). Thanks

Here are some pictures I took in case anyone else runs into the same problem down the road.
The broken valve "stem" can be seen below still screwed into the grenade. The broken valve "stem" and "head", missing the o-ring.
