300te sphere replacement

Just replaced the spheres in my wagon and had a devil of a time with the line between the valve and the sphere closest to the valve. I just couldn't get a wrench on the fitting.

I finally removed the line between the valve and the distant sphere to get it out of the way.

Did I miss a trick?

Thx -CTH

Doubtful, that job is just difficult. I have a couple of "crows feet" I use and it is still an exercise in the impossible.

I spent hours getting the threads lined up on that line, the rest of the job was simple.

I spend far too much time with heavy cutters taking cars apart. It's refreshing to put one back together. I hate getting rusty at technique.

Thx for the reassurance that it was supposed to be that much fun. Only took 2 hours in the cold on my back with the sun setting to get the pipe back in. The trip up for me was not realizing I need to put the pipe over the fuel line instead of under it. Also, I should have seated the end of the distant sphere before the valve end (do the harder to reach end first if the option is available).

Thx -CTH
