    Can anyone tell me the best way of getting a stuck jet loose on a MSR Whisperlite? I really don't want to force it and bend the generator tube. Any Ideas?

    Regards,

    If it will run, run it a short time, then try to remove the jet while it is hot. Apply some penetrant and wait awhile or remove the assembly and use a vise or locking pliers to hold it and use a wrench on the jet then.
