What do you mean by post? The threaded nipple with the CGA-320 nut?

[hebertovich]

yes sheared it right off just about at the regulator, can't get the threaded piece out of the regulator

[mr x]

Unfortunately, I'm not much help here. You might be able to fix the regulator. You'll need an extractor kit, and probably left-hand type, which might be hard to come by locally.

The threads are likely treated, with locktite or equiv. You may need a lot of force to loosen.

A large screw may serve as an extractor.

I sure hope someone wasn't using loctite on that part of the tank! All that needs to seal is the teflon (or similar) gasket that sits inside the nut.

Fire Extinguisher folks would have replacement valves/stems/posts for tanks, hopefully at a reasonable price.

I think it's the threads in to the reg that's stuck.

Thanks Guys it is the threads on the regulator part that are stuck, and if it's revers thread then I've really fucked it up cause now it's all chewed and locktite was probably used Gonna have to buy a new one

[mr x]

Usually those threads have a thread compound on them, which really makes it hard to get, out even if it isn't snapped.
