CO2 (or Air) Tank Reseal

Post by ghilt »

Is replacing the tank poppet valve seal "do-it-yourself" operation when armed with a heavy bench vice, a 16" strap wrench some hex stock which fits the recessed hex in the end of the tank? The question is how much torque is required to break away the end fitting to allow access to the poppet seal and what types of seal manufacturers such as Walther,Steyr, FWB etc. use - O-ring? What are the "lessons learned" by the more adventurous
