Help me unscrew tight posts of a ball-lock corny keg

[beauvafr]

I'm stuck trying to loosen the posts of a ball-lock corny keg with my 22m wrench (good size). Too tight.

The posts seems soldered over the old coke keg...

Any tricks ?

get a socket and a ratchet put a piece of pipe on it a couple feet long as a breaker bar or just use a breaker bar if you have one

I know on pin locks sockets work the best even if you can get a wrench on it

all the best

+2 on socket+wrench. It's the right tool for the job.

Got it !! I put the keg horizontally on the ground, on a carpet, while the wrench was still on the nut, 45 degree angle, and also touching the floor.

You can imagine the rest of the story. I tough I was never gonna get it.

My topper clone is now in the keg, and the sample I took on the tap taste just like sky. Happy holidays everyone!
