@ @Turbo Member Messages 242 Apr 16, 2012 #2 I bolted them to a table screwed the valve off them them, unbolted it from the table then cut the bottoms out of them. I never had a problem. just make sure it is empty.

@ @Turbo Member Messages 242 Apr 16, 2012 #4 yea I had to cut the handles off before I got the top off.
