This made me laugh out loud .... Mostly because it took me rapidly back to my almost identical rookie error!!

Random trick for anyone removing a keg spear/valve -
Tried a pipe wrench and an oil filter wrench on mine, found it far easier after releasing the pressure to flip the keg over, place the flange (not the neck) of the valve in the jaws of my bench vice, tighten her up, then spin the whole keg around to undo the threaded part.

May need a friend to help hold the keg/tighten the vice - or in my case a friend to come up with the idea in the first place because it had me beat.
