How to take out the Valve?

Thanks Guys,

I take it that the part in the gun is a threaded collar and has to be exposed from under the bottom to loosen the set screw in order to “clock” the sleeve?
I don’t see this in any of the drawings listed above.

The valve body is TIGHT in the bottle. I will machine a removal tool tonight at work. This is the first time I have gone into the gun. Tony did a first rate job as best I can tell. His moderator works great too!

damn, i missed the one about using die handles. that ought to work. just don’t use your best set, you will probably have to smack them with a hammer, initially, to break the valve loose. you don’t have to put it back on that tight. just hand tight, ( with the tool ), until it bottoms out.
glad i could help.

you’re going to need a ” valve removal tool”. check with Joe Brancato at expert hpa, or i think Dyotat100 on this forum also makes them. they’re around 10.00. make sure you drain your tank COMPLETELY before you try to remove the valve!!!
