LP Regulator Help
I have a 2K12 G6R and the back of the low pressure regulator is smooth. I can't figure out how to get the cap off in order to maintain the reg. Any suggestions?

I've read that, but there's no spot for an Allen key to go into the back of the reg to get the cap off. |

I've read that, but there is no where to but an Allen key into the back of the reg to twist the cap off. |

Tried it, but ended up slipping off the reg and stripping around where the wrench goes. I think I'll send it to BLAST. |

Use a wrench, but remember it's right-hand threaded.

There is an allan key spot on the front of the reg, and the back is 2 flat spots for a wrench as was told prior. I have some scuff marks from the wrench on the back of my reg, that goes into the gun, but I was able to tear the reg apart with those 2 tools.

I was using a cresent wrench and couldn't get it loose. Ended up slipping and scratching the reg pretty badly. I have a rubber grip-wrench that I'm going to try today. |

Remove it lpr adjustment screw all the way till it comes out then find the Allen key that fit the lpr were the adjustment screw was then get the cresent wrench and put it on the other side of the lpr u shouldnt have any issues with using a cresent wrench now turn it like you going to tighten it but it going to actually lossen it make sure you have the cresent wrench on there as tight as you can before you start to turn then like magic the lpr will come off
