Okay all you uber-tech's ... quick question ...

How hard is it to pull a reg off of a bottle (fiber-wrapped) and then putting another on in its place ...

not very. it's threaded on, usually some lock-tite used. get a vice with some rubber pads and clamp it in, then get a wrench and take all of the guages/burst disks off and twist teh sucker right off.

And another tip: Make sure it's empty! :D

instead of using a vice which puts pressure on only 2 points on your tank and risking damage, get a strap wrench like you use on the oil filter in your car, just bigger, and use that to hold on to the tank. you can get a strap wrench almost anywhere, homedepot, autozone, even walmart has em.
