Bit of a fastball but I'm back off to Ukraine tomorrow and will try and take my Meg with me. I have new Heiser Dumpy 3 litre cylinders and want to remove the valves for travel - only problem is that I don't know how to remove them. I've been told to remove the handles and then use a rubber mallet to turn them off but this hasn't worked.

Any one any ideas?

Many thanks,

Nick

Thanks for the advice - I'm smacking away like crazy with a rubber mallet and nothing seems to be moving - They are brand new cylinders and have no gas inside. Anyone know what I should be doing to shift them?
