That's what I meant to say.

Just got the ALDA off. I only had an adjustable wrench to fit the large locknut but had a hammer and a 12" 3/8 drive ratchet extension which rested on the nipple of the ALDA and hit with a hammer to loosen then I was able to use my fingers to loosen it all the way. I put a bicycle pump on the ALDA and at first there was no movement but after a bit of fiddling with it it started to move as I pump. It would not hold pressure though. Once the pressure drops, the plunger retracts. Is the ALDA ok per my description? I haven't taken it for a drive yet with ALDA removed.
