That’s a good question. The valve is of the straight thread type with a flange and O ring for sealing. The valve should not be torqued very hard, but... you never know who installed yours. Some valves have an area on it for a wrench to fit (wrench flats) and if necessary attach a wrench and sit on the tank and un do it or have someone hold it for you. It SHOULD come off though.
Once removed be sure to look inside your tank to see if there’s any debris or water or moisture. Perhaps lower a small flashlight on a string or straightened out coat hanger to see better. Clean as necessary. Drying the tank if wet is another matter, PM me if that’s necessary.
Once ready to install valve make sure threads are clean with a new or old tooth brush. In the scuba business our valves were chrome plated brass and we put a dab of silicone grease on the threads to prevent galvanic corrosion. The valves we always saw on fire service SCBA’s were anodized aluminum, it really isn’t necessary to grease them but it won’t hurt anything. If it was my tank, I wouldn’t bother with grease, it just isn’t necessary on like materials.
You should put some silicone grease on the O ring. All that’s needed is to make the O ring shiny, no globs of grease. Put a tiny bit on your fing tips and then rub it on O ring. Excess lube won’t hurt but isn’t necessary.
Thread valve into tank and turn it till it’s shoulder meets the tank and then with your hand only, confirm the valve is in all the way and that’s it.
If there valve doesn’t shoulder on the tank and there is a small gap, the O ring could extrude under pressure and all the contents will leak out. Other than a pop as the O ring is extruded your only danger is that an invisible high velocity, high pressure stream of air that can pierce skin, which can be serious.
Hopefully you got a valve with the proper thread as there are SAE and metric threaded valves.
Best of luck.
