Puzzled by keg in post.

Brew new to kegging and just handy enough around the house to be dangerous. Just went and bought the Oxiclean free and was gonna take it apart, clean it and let it soak over night in the oxiclean.

The that require a special wrench or something ? Never seen anything like that and not sure how to get it off to clean it.

It's a 12-point fitting. You can use the box end of a wrench or a 12-point socket if you happen to have one big enough lying around It's a pretty specialized tool in that size, though.

You can also use Channel-locks if you don't mind beating the hell out of your fittings, but I prefer not to.

Like i said i wish my father was around growing up. I am book smart but just handy enough to mess up a project THEN call the contractor. lol

Yeah that looks nice. I think i will pick one up just for brew tool. Regular wrench is used and i dont like anything that even looks dirty near my brew gear.

no special wrench needed. most crescent wrenches have a standard fitting on one end and a 12 point on the other. 7/8" wrench should take that post right off.

"crescent" wrenches are adjustable
