? about ALDA removal in a 617 see pic
Ok, so I need to get this thing out. Two questions:
1. Do I have to remove that white plastic round thing so the alda has room to turn? - see pic 2. How do you fit channel locks and a wrench under there? Thanks.

There's a spud nut under the ALDA that holds the ALDA onto the IP sort of like a compression nut. I think it's a 25mm. Come in from the side, under the ALDA with an open-end and turn the nut CCW (looking down). All you need to do with the ALDA body is keep it from turning when you turn the nut. 1/2 turn of the nut could do it, then it will be handy and you can spin it with your fingers.
See #3 in this thread.

Maybe so, now I cannot remember if the nut is on the aneroid or the IP.

The nut is attached to the IP and screws onto the bottom of the ALDA. I wish I was at home, I have a series of pictures that I took of my ALDA when I removed it and took it apart.

from what I understand...
The large nut on top of the IP is supposed to turn CW while the nut on the alda turns ccw - lefty loosey - off of the IP. Which brings me back to my original question. I don't think the alda will make the turn around that pastic white round thing seen in the picture I attached. Has anyone encountered this? Will it make the turn? How do you get that thing off? And what is that thing anyway? Oh, and what do you use to block the boost line that is now dangling from the shutoff valve?

I used a 1 1/8th wrench on the bottom nut and held the ADLA with a big pair of plyers. i kept the vavle from spining because it was going to hit the vaccum valve. it only took 10 min and the ADLA was off and i didn't hit the plastic vaccum valve you show in your picture.

So hold the the alda and turn the bottom nut cw. No sweat. I'm thinking I'll need a few cans of WD40 for this one.
So the final question that needs to be answered is, what do you block the boost line to the shutoff valve with? Do you take the line off at the shutoff valve or let it hang there and stuff a BB or something in to block it off?

I ditched the shutoff vavle (its with my ADLA in my closet for safe keeping). I have a brass T from the Home Depot in the line already because i'm useing the line from the banjo bolt to feed pressure to my boost gauge. so i unscrewed the nipple i had installed in the T to feed the ADLA and installed a plug. that way if i ever wanna go pack the T is still installed.
