removing guages from regulator

I was trying to replace the high gauge on my regulator, I was unsuccessful and in doing so broke my low pressure gauge. So I now have new low pressure and high pressure gauges, but still cannot get the broken ones off the regulator. Any advice out there on a technique, or tool used to get those SOBs off?

Yes I know they are right threaded.

Thanks!

Here is a picture of my regulator, both gauges currently attached to the regulator need to be replaced. They are both screwed in very tightly. It doesn't look like a broken bolt extractor would work here. I guess your supposed to use a wrench to grip the squared ends at the bottom of the gauge, but it is very hard to get a wrench in between the regulator and the gauge to get a grip.

I reckon the reason why they are so hard to get off is that they almost certainly would have used liquid gas sealant. Use some of that as well for the new ones.

Just looking at time of your last post and you probably already have the new ones on .
