Not quite experience, but I once had the local propane dealer replace a
valve. The tank was clamped into a hinged metal claw sort of thing, and held
there by a log chain and chain binder. As I recall, he used a wrench that
was clearly purpose-made and had a handle about 4 feet long. And he still
had to put his back into it to get the valve to turn.
I have a different local dealer now, but they quoted me around $20 the other
day for replacing the valve. Might be worth asking if yours would just
remove the old valve and hand you back the pieces for $5 or so.
