Your way behind the times Shane,Mat and I opened the mobile Mighty 45 repair shop a week ago.
They are not as easy as you may think,LOL it was a learning curve for sure. Once you master the left hand cross thread you should be ok. :D

Yeah but foil tape works better, you can use it like a replacement cylinder when you wear out the original one.
