This morning, I woke up early to another beautiful day. Had a quick breakfast with Yuma and then I started on the WL.
I could not get the large wrench to hold to the nut, so gave up on that idea. I looked at the new part and saw that I should be able to squeeze the round cylinder out of the old part and then push a socket through and unloosen it.
I got a hammer and sure enough with a little persuasion the cylinder popped out leaving a clear shot at the nut with a long socket.
Went down and bought a long socket set for $65 and thought I was ready to be done with it. There is a metal line that looks like a fuel line preventing the socket from going straight in.
Getting close to play-off games, so I quit for today. My thinking is I will try to remove the line or cut it and repair it. I'm getting closer and soon it will be out. I just have to keep the faith.
Very exciting games today. I was rooting for KC over Baltimore, and they won. The second game is a close one going into the fourth quarter. The Lions owned the first half, but SF won the second half to win the game by SF. KC and SF in the Superbowl.
Thanks for stopping by.
You should try to avoid cutting any lines if possible. It sounds like you needed a Flare-Nut Wrench rather than sockets to do the job. (It resembles a Box Wrench with an opening for the line to pass through.) Go slow and steady so there are no mistakes.

You're making some progress. Just have to keep at it. I agree that cutting things is probably not the best idea. Good playoff games. On to the Super Bowl!
