I seem to have a stuck cylinder. Mag is removed cylinder leaked gas after the last shot and is empty. 45 degrees outside. I don't remember tightening that much. Any tricks to get it off? I forget, never paid attention. with the pistol facing forward, which way is the way to loosen the cylinder? Help!!!

Get a square silicone pad from walmart of the dollar store. It allows you to really grip the tank without damaging anything. After that, lube your tank threads with Super lube grease 21030 or FWB Special grease before reattaching it......

With a muzzle pointing away from me or forward, which is the correct way to loosen the cylinder? Turn to the right?

Viewed from the rear of the gun clockwise. Viewed from the front counterclockwise. (Same direction as a standard bolt or screw.)
