Change Yolk Valves to Din?

[SentinelAce]

do I just let the air out, leave the valve open? How do you actually twist these off? Someone said I could use a rubber mallet or an adjustable wrench. Amazing the only videos I could find were removing DIN valves

valves are valves, removal is the same whether it is yoke *yoke like horse/oxen pulling cart yoke, not egg yolk* or din. You have to fully drain the tank, they won't come out until you do. Once fully drained, then you should be able to get it off by hand. If it's stuck, a rubber mallet on the not-valve side will work, but many have flat spots for wrenches on the neck

Do you mean an insert or are you actually taking the valve out of the tank? If you're replacing the valve you'll need a viz so just let the lds do it.

Thanks I'll burn off those tanks first this weekend. I'm doing 3 wrecks with no fills so I have to have plenty of bottles. Nice thing is, these came with the adapters so my son can still use his setup.

valves, not the inserts
