My conquest came! ... how do I put it on?

[-=Squid=-]

Ok, so im sitting here with my conquest reg in my lap...

I have a crossfire tank already, but need to get the reg off.

I just cant get it! I can get it to move about an inch, then I cant unscrew it anymore. And thats with a lot of force being exerted on it.

The ONLY tools available are standard tools people have... no torque wrench or vice, just crescents etc.

Im NOT waiting to take it to my field, because to be honest, I want to do it now, and the field owner knows no better than me on this matter.

So what do I do?

and is there anything I need to apply to my conquest reg when I attatch it to the bottle?

EDIT: Anyone know of an online conquest manual? It didnt come with one.

Ive tried all recommendations... the thing WILL NOT budge.

Go to Home Depot/Lowes and pick up a Rigid strap wrench. That WILL do the trick. Nothing else really does it quite as well.

You might want to try securing the reg and turning the tank. It may have loctite...who knows. And knowing how to get it off and on correctly is best left up the manufacturer...and their techs. Its not that simple to be changing regs around without using the proper tools and torque specs. Please be careful...and make sure there is nothing in the tank before you put the new reg on.

When attaching the bottle to you conquest, just make sure you have the proper oring, and screw it on nice and tight, no loctite needed. Personally, I'd take it to your shop, I'd rather have them screw it up/kill themselves rather then me.

Ya... im just gonna wait till sunday and do it at practice. He has the tools to do it there.

What O-ring do I need to use?

And thanks for all the advice guys. Tunaman - do you have aim? I need to discuss something with you.
