i did not over tighten it at all IDK what happened, mabe something to do with the high preasure air?
As someone has already mentioned, yes.. If you do not open the bleeder it will be hard to remove.
If you lube any of the threads use silicon grease. It doesn’t take much. Combustable oils can ignite under the pressure.

finally… i got it thanks for the help, now you guys say DO NOT lubricate the air tank?
Ask your neighbore to unscrew them for you. Maybe he has tools.
How tight did you put the tank on to begin with? Sounds like something went wrong right at the start.
I’d be careful with vice grips. They can possibly do more harm than good as it takes alot of pressure to get them to lock down tight. I’d still recommend channel locks
Don’t use any lube! if you have to use a tool then use it on the adapter not the tank, lock the tank in the webbing behind you knee and lock your ankle into the arm of a chair, this will give you more than enough traction on the tank without running a risk of damage.
thats alright, when i get my hands on those vise grips…
Man, I’ve gone bust then…… Hopefully someone with more ideas might chime in, but I think with a couple of pairs of channel locks as a last resort, you should be able to torque the apart with the leverage. Sorry could not come up with anything else right now…..
If so, try and remove the adapter and the bottle off the pump at the same time, then we can work on the adapter and bottle next.
i have already done that, but it will not unscrew
Lets start with the adapter. Now take into consideration, I’ve never used or even seen a hand pump, but I would assume the adapter is made to screw onto the base of your pump. Do you know if that is true?

Whew…..glad to hear that. I thought the boy was in a world of $hit if he was told to use it for lube…. 😆 😆 😆
