I recently bought an old 10 tap brass passthrough beer tower. The brass faucets need to be removed and thoroughly cleaned but i am having a really hard time figuring out how to remove them. Does anyone have any idea how it is done without destroying the faucet/shank. in one of the pics i have one disassembled but i damn near destroyed it and still don't know how i got it apart.
