Newell Coach Air Leak Quest Continues! Finally Making "Progress"

What happens here

The creator describes the arduous process of replacing a compression fitting on the passenger side. Due to the extremely tight space and the need to apply significant torque to properly compress the fitting, he had to perform an impromptu 'plank' exercise to hold himself in position while tightening with a wrench. He notes the difficulty of using a ratchet wrench in such confined areas for compression fittings, emphasizing the physical strain involved.

Goal: Replace a faulty compression fitting on the passenger side.

Tools and materials

  • Gloves — Protecting hands
  • New Compression Fitting — Replacing the old, leaky fitting
  • Wrenches — Tightening the compression fitting

okay now i can go in and do what i came here for checking in i just did the passenger side crappy fitting and yeah i really underestimated how long it would take to put that in because i forgot that once the once the line is in there i can't use the ratcheting end of the wrench anymore for the compression size you gotta you know crank it a good bit to like do the compressioning part of it so the whole time doing that i'm basically like sort of holding myself up with an arm but i'm still like wherever you got to do a freaking two minute plank in gym class is basically like that to hold myself up man because it's like it's way up there like i'm on the ground this thing has to be up just for me to get under it but man like if there's pros and cons to being six foot five one con i'd have more room under here if i wasn't pro my arms are long enough to reach that without totally killing myself but at the same time if somebody under here were like five foot six they could probably sit up right under here and not have to do a whole freaking core workout to get it done but i'm not complaining i did legs today at the gym so i guess today is a leg and core day i'm gonna get the other side line popped out unscrew that fitting put the compression one in and then we can go test this thing
