Hey - That works just as well, too... I just happened to have the right
sized nuts/allthead at the time - and felt like playing with the welder...
BTW - Version 4 of the XJCD is right around the corner... Already sent off
my $10 for the set.

;-) I can *spell* welder, but don't ask me to use one competently.

I remember asking what the difference was between v2 and v3, and from
what I was told, v3 didn't have anything more on my model, so I didn't
bother.

Thanks for all the feedback,
All i had to do was remove the seal retainer clip and proceed to beat
the crap out of the tubes, About 20 minutes and the seal started to
move..
