b Hi,

b I have got this Weller TCP soldering iron. Its heather is burned, I
b have got a new one. Problem is seems that it has stuck in its
b sleeve.
b I have injected DWD40 in it and left it for few hours to loosen it.
b But it is not budging. Any idea how to take it out.

b Thanks


Maybe if you put it in the freezer for an hour or so and then try, The core
will remain frozen for a short time as the outer sleeve warms up and
expands.
worth a try!
