changing regs
- Thread starter mr-stabby

You can do it yourself but I and am sure others would recommend you take it to your local shop or H-Pac to get it done properly. Safety first and all that
I've had two of my regs changed (had myth regs fitted). Get in touch with H-Pac top company and you know it's done safely

The best thing to do is find a vice big enough to fit the tank, and put it in there nice and tight, untill you here it cracking, then swing on the reg with a nice big pipe wrench. This will make sure that you break the seal...then unwind it as fast as you can - when you get to the end, make sure that you are not inline with the reg as the remaining pressure will blow the reg right out of your hand.
Oh hang on - I think thats how not to do it....
If you are unsure of the correct way to do it - Thats a sign to get a pro shop to do it - H-Pac etc....
Do not put the tank in a vice - ever, not even losely! (Never!)

a) I hope it isn't an O2 (oxygen) tank!
Is it a CO2 tank (Valve, not Reg)
Or an HPA tank ( high pressure air) also known as N2 (nitrogen) in some circles
b) If you're even slightly uncertain about what to do then get it done by someone who is qualified to do the job

if it hasn't been loctited on you can find that they unscrew with only a little persausion provided the the tank is fully empty
