[Tom Allen]

OK and do you know if the hairdryer thing works?

Thanks for the replies, offloaded it onto my boyfriend to see if he can get it done

Heading out to Istanbul on Thursday and I've found out that my reg is locktighted onto my air bottle. Is there anyway to get it off a bit easier rather than using lots and lots of force? (because I dont have much )
Any help would be much appreciated

Angle grinder =P

but seriously the hot water thing works...tried and tested!

P.S. don't forget to wear those yellow gloves that your mom wears to protect your hands from the hot water!!

I'm sure when we went to Norway we discussed doing these things in advance next time

If all else fails you could always try hairdryer and hot water

As the rest, use boiling water & put it in a vice, but make sure the vice is well packed out first so not to damage your reg or you can use a leather strap around it, use a large screwdriver to give you some leverage, twist it round the strap, this might help, or you can get one of those straps they use to get off oil filters on cars...
