Hey Fresenius 2008t bibag and non bibag machines. Anyone know a easier way to remove the rinse ports? Mine especially bibag machines are so rusty. I end up having to replace the reed switch on a lot of the machines and some I ended up breaking pieces of the metal.

This is what I do most of the time. I remove the hose and two screws from the reed switch, squirt a little WD on the nut, let it sit for a few, clamp a pair of vise grips on the rinse port, and use a boxed 17mm on the nut. I've been very successful with this method and haven't damaged a reed switch yet. Most of the time the nut will break in half so always make sure you have those on hand! If the reed switch is broken in any way or extremely nasty just replace everything!

instead of wd 40 use liquid wrench a more effective lubricant, also i usually remove the entire assembly so i can work on it and on the new parts i put a coating of high vacumn grease on the threads and the body of the rinse port

I tried the WD method and some are just so stuck on there. Seems to be only the acid ports the bicarb one is easy. Broke a few and some held on most likely will just replace the reed switches.

How do you all verify that the machine is negative for any WD40 inside the tubing or port?

If you're replacing the rinse ports, there's no need to. Toss and replace; simple as that. The tubing needs to be disconnected before you can start removing the nut off the rinse port so there is no issues with contamination of WD40 if it was used.

id be very wery of useing any kind of chem lubricant on the machine in any fashion. i mean, we've all had those times where ya gotta do what cha gotta do ( my tool of choice is a dremel with a small cuttoff wheel, cut the nut through on opposite sides), but putting something that could premeate into the tubeing seems like a no-go in my book.
