OP
I'm doing a fair amount of lavishing to make up for past neglect...
Now for the oral inflator button....

Got it! That's one completely apart. What a struggle.

I got the DSS Tool and now service them once a year just as my regs and valves.
I had one I could not open so i put in some very mild acid used to descale coffemakers and then a penetrating oil/water-displacing spray. It worked fine.
Put a Little silicon grease on the threads and they will open without a problem in a year.

I believe they've never been serviced at all. The little pin that goes across the place where the corrugated hose connects has an opening only on one side, so it must have been punched in from just that side and never pushed out. It's pretty satisfying to get something in such bad shape looking decent (and safe) again.
And now that I've taken the entire thing apart, I see that it requires more than those five o-rings. It also needs a 111 for the hex bolt in the outlet and a 010 for the nipple.
