my pipe as preventative maintenance on my A8L, the previous person had left it like you had it and it didn't leak.

I couldn't do that, (the tab was bent from them tightening the bolt)
And I couldn't leave it like that...

It didn't take much, and I was able to get it seated flush.

    - If you know which way it needs to go, slip a box wrench over it, back a good ways, and adjust. - JFrahm 2017-12-03 19:45:26 (372 views)
