Servicing your cooler consists of a CO2 cartridge and a portable gas regulator, as well as a pair of valve stem seals. The valves are quite large, and once you get used to their shape, they're relatively easy to place in your computer and start filling the cooler. Be careful, however, because they can sometimes leak and if they do, they can ruin your coolant. For the life of me, I couldn't tell you the last time I had a leak in the coolant, but it's not an uncommon occurrence. I also needed to clean out the coolant drain tube. I didn't have to worry about the valve stem seals leaking, but I did have to remove the coolant plug from the drain tube to get to it. With a little patience, I was able to pry it off.
The black plastic tubing holds the hose connected to your gauge.
