Removing Valve Housing from Snowpulse Tank?

[JRainey]

So I'm flying home from a 3.5 month stint in Chile and I want to take precautions that my snowpulse canister doesn't get nabbed by the tsa.

When I flew down here I just put it in my checked bagged (not pressurized) and it was no worries. It only had to pass TSA in Jackson. When I go back, they will have to recheck it in Atlanta. I'm just assuming with the tighter regulations and such that they won't like it if the tank isn't open.

I searched about taking it off. People say a wrench, but how would it fit on the valve housing there's only one side unobstructed (see red arrow in pics)

I tried just torquing it by hand, but no luck. I'm leaving tomorrow night, so no rush, but i gotta get this thing off.

Thanks

I don't know much about snowpulse, but my first thought is to send them an email or give them a call during reg. biz hours.

Just wanted to see if you were able to get the valve off of the cannister or not.
