Hi all,

I'm in the process of renewing all the seals and gaskets etc on my kegs, and I've got a couple where I simply cannot get the gas / beer posts to move. They're stuck tight.

I'm a bit reluctant to get a rattle gun on them in case I damage something, but it's looking like that's the only way I'll get them off.

Does anyone have any handy tips or techniques that might help?

Pretty sure I have successfully encouraged stubborn ones to move by giving the spanner a few taps with a hammer in the past.

I've tried that, but I can't grip the keg tight enough with my feet, it just spins around. The socket I'm using is starting the chew up the post, so I might end up having to remove them with an impact wrench with one of my burlier pals holding onto the damned keg :laugh8:
