First..make sure you're tank is completely empty.. other than that..just be real careful not to strip the threads when installing the new guages..

[Aliens-8-MyDad]

no....... leave it completely full, tell us what happens

When putting on the new gauges, I'd use loc-tite instead of teflon tape. I like teflon tape for most conections but for a tank I'd take the safer route and use loc-tite.

Yeah- don't replace it with new AGD gauges, because they easily break on their own, with no actual reason for breaking.

I read the loc-tite article but still unsure of which kind to use... what do yall use? Thanks alot.

You'd probably be OK with the blue but if you want to be really safe go for the red. You can get loc-tite are almost any hardware store. It's a pretty common product.

I would use the blue(medium) loctite.......it holds very well, but it is removable with just tools. if you use red and hte gauge breaks, you will have th eheat the joint to get it off........that means you have to take the whole reg apart.
