Post Removal Problem

[KopyKat]

I just got two kegs and one has a post I haven't seen on any instruction site. These are ball post kegs and a 7/8" socket works on the liquid side but the gas side has a fitting that may need a special tool. Look at the pictures below and let me know if any of you have ones like this and what you use to remove it.

Also on both of my kegs, the gas side posts lean. Probably not a problem but if it is, let me know.

What you need is a 7/8" 12 point deep socket. Home depot or Lowe's

I actually like the 12 pt posts. Makes it easier to tell in from out when tapping the keg.

The same tool can be used for both.

12-pt will do it. I like to use red o-rings on gas posts, since I have a mix of 6 & 12 pt. inlets.
