G'day folks,
Well went to pour a drink just now and realised I had run out of gas. I though I would be getting close to the end of my bottle but really this last load of gas hasn't had that much work (or so I had thought) anyway I thought I best check for leaks as I had put two kegs in to carb at serving pressure for a week or so as I couldn't be arsed "shake, rattle and rolling"....anyway I have found a small leak...but still a leak coming from my gas manifold.
My manifold is the same as the craftbrewer ones ( I bought it from Ross). The leak is coming from behind the one little red handles of the ball valves. After removing the handle I have found that the spindle (if thats what you would call it) behind the handle is sort of loose (I can push it around with my finger) which seems to be causing the leak.

Now what i want to know is...how the heck do I fix this? Do I need to relace the valve or can I maybe pull this sucker apart?
Any help would be greatly appreciated.
Cheers, Pok
