Pull the wheel towards you and shake side to side. :)

But carefully - to avoid banging yourself in the face with it when it suddenly comes free.....
Back on two wheels and pedal power for the moment.

Leave the centre nut on by a few threads and then it won't hit you on the nose when it comes free :shock:

firt thing to check is the seal between the sphere (bomb) and the regulater,
i find sometimes if someone has fitted a new sphere and did not smear the seal with LHM before screrwing the sphere back into place it damages the seal,

another point they leak around that area is the thin plastic trickal return pipe which plugs into a short ruber pipe on the underside of the regulater,

this pipe can pop out if the regulater/acumalater sphere is flat/low or out of gas
