Tool to remove Corny keg valves?

by **rwh** » Thursday Feb 01, 2007 3:46 pm

Hi all, I've got a Corny keg that I want to replace the seals on. What tools do I need to get the valves off? The gas IN valve has a weird star shaped nut that needs to be unscrewed, and the beer OUT valve has a standard nut, but the handles obstruct my shifter so I can't use that... :cry:

I found this but as for where to get a tool that specifically does the job?

Also read about using a long socket but haven't had a great deal to do with kegs myself only through my brother in law.

7/8 inch ring spanner for the star shaped looking one. The other ones are 11/16. Well, on my corny's so far.

Cheers,
Greg

I have 9 kegs and they all have the same fittings. As gregb said, a 7/8 combination spanner is the go. The ring end will do the gas post while the beer post can be done with either end of the spanner.

DO NOT CLICK THE ABOVE LINK!!!!!
I reckon it could well be harmful. Anyone trust their antivirus enough to give it a go?

I made the link go away.

I just use a set of vice grips.

A deep star socket from AutoPro for $10 and you're up and running...
