You really need keg lube to make it easy to do. A tube lasts a long time.

+1 A tube of lube will last you a life time.

Also be sure the correct 'o' rings are fitted to the posts.

Also when you have the disconnects on the wrong posts it can be difficult

Thin ridge on post is GAS IN
Thick ridge on post is BEER OUT

my saying when assembling a keg after cleaning is " in fashion, THIN is in, FAT is out." :lol:

Other than that, new 'O' rings on a post are usually very stiff for the first few go's at removing d/c's.

Cheers! :beerbang:

Or if the nut-part (either a hex or star) of the post has a groove cut in it, its gas.

I also add 'in' or 'out' in a permanent marker on my kegs next to the post, as reading small raised lettering on black rubber is bl00dy hard to read!

Not all Gas posts are like this however.

All the cornie kegs I have seen and that's a few have always had a line cut horizontally around the Gas post.My Answer for fool proofing them is some white tape wrapped around the handle closest to the gas in post.
