Message	but that the valve would be sitting too far down to re-engage the retainer clips, with no way to get the valve back up into position. Maybe I'll try using air pressure to hold the valves up on one cylinder and see how it works and have some rope handy as a back-up plan. Don't see why it would be that difficult to let the rope fall into the cylinder through the plug hole though? Thanks, Mike --------------------------------------------------------
