Super Thanks. Have watched and read things 100 times off and on over the decades and again recent. Been around these 617 for decades off and on so not a newb to the concept.... but only to the hands on doing it.
look forward to replies to specificity of questions (tools, Aux. pump, any red or green flags, in pump position to look for as it sits now etc.). Got delayed in doing things over the weekend.... Dog mauled my hand on Fri. Am right handed.. and right hand now not working so well.
