I would be very cautious taking apart a regulator that operates @ 750 psi.
why? as long as it isn't under pressure when you dissassemble it, it's safe....
you arent supposed to need to. try unscrewing the knob all the way and coating the threads with one of the above lubricants. the reason its hard is because the end of the screw pushes against the diphragm. any friction between the screw and the metal insert on the diaphragm, or the threads themselves, will make it hard to turn. reducing the friction makes it easier.Are you supposed to release pressure on the regulator to adjust the knob?
chapstick or wax is good to use; much better than petrolium products like WD40 that will degrade the rubber diaphragm inside the regulator. silicone or white grease will also work fine.
