well you cant use an allen key on it if it is a 90* / elbow ... only straight fittings come off like that
i suggest a 7/16th open wrench ... or a cresent wrench

it was all torn up on the under side and was bleeding pretty badly for my thumb I have like this tinny cast thing on it and am suposed to take it off tomorrow it was really just a couple of small holes maybe 10 to 15 small gashes, what really frightened me was the loud boom it sounded like a 12 gauge shotgun was fired 3 feet away well really it was 600psi coming out of the tank all in one tiny hole really tiny
