    Fill nipple question

    Hey all,
    So last time that I got my tank filled (68/4500 PMI), I noticed it was leaking out the fill nipple. I know it was the nipple itself that was leaking because when I put the rubber protector over it, it would keep popping off.
    Now, from everything I have read, people have said just remove the nipple and unscrew the screw inside, check o-rings and what not and reassemble. So I've removed the nipple, but cannot remove the screw to get at the o-rings. doesn't matter which way I turn the screw, it just keeps spinning and spinning...
    Now I'm assuming this isn't normal, if it is, how exactly do you get it out? Should I even bother trying, or should I just replace the whole thing and be done with it?

    Thanks for the help.
    Where are we going and why am I in this basket?

    Use something that will not bend or gouge and poke the screw out in the direction of the air flow
