[BeiruitChamp]

hey there, gotta coors keg for a party and it got a little rowdy. some competitive keg tossing took place and now the shaft and and valve assembly is rattling loose inside the empty keg. does anyone know how to fix this by taking it apart or someting? I'm just looking to get my deposit back for the keg. Anybody know how to dismantle and repair? I'd really appreciate it.

hey seriously... can anybody give me an idea?? you guys know more about a blower motor for a kegeratgor rather than how a keg works. I reckon someones got an answer.. please help. None of my friends can give a straight amswer.

You can do some serious damage trying to get into one of those. It sounds as though you broke the spear which is the tube that runs down to the bottom of the keg. You wouldn't be able to fix that with welding it anway. I bet they would still give you your deposit back though. It's a simple fix for the brewery, far less expensive than replacing the whole keg. If they won't give you your deposit back you can sell it to a metal recycling plant and recoup most, if not all of your deposit.

Ed is right, just take it back and they should give your deposit back. If it were me, I would just take it back and don't even mention it. When the brewer takes it apart to sanitize it, they will see it and repair it. Tapman
