Alright, that helped us to actually take this and spin it right off. After we got that done, we hit it with a fitting brush, get it all nice and clean. That way, we could install our new vacuum breaker. Once we got that hooked up, we tested it. Alright, worked out pretty well. Right up until the point where somebody said, hey, you didn't put the hose back on it. So, I hooked the hose back up. That way everybody can see this is an on bias test.
