removing gauges from regulator

[jrodie]

I was trying to replace the high gauge on my regulator, I was unsuccessful and in doing so broke my low pressure gauge. So I now have new low pressure and high pressure gauges, but still cannot get the broken ones off the regulator. Any advice out there on a technique, or tool used to get those SOBs off?

Yes I know they are right threaded. :cross:

Thanks!

Not without laying my hands on them, or seeing them.

Are you located near me?

I think I twisted mine out by hand, but I don't recall. I may have used just a plain old adjustable wrench. How exactly are they broken? Did something shear off?

True that, but it helps to have some mechanical inclination!

One variable that we don't know of!

Nothing is sheared, the innards of the gauges are broken. Just screwed in SUPER tight, thought maybe there was a trick I was missing.
