Disabling pair...
 

I followed Greg's directions about reversing the reed-stopper and putting it back together, and I have to say guys it takes all of about 20 minutes if you're mechanically inclined. I didn't even pull the tank. All you have to do is remove the front two tank bolts, grab a bungee cord and bungee the tank up to something overhead (my garage door here)...and you can easily get to the back two bolts with a 1/4 inch ratchet and socket.

Just figured I'd share the tip, it was so easy to do it was almost silly, and you don't really have to remove anything. :)
