If you have a towel down, you're not going to break it. You're not going to scratch your lid. You're not going to do any of that stuff. So, it makes it pretty easy. You're going to want a garbage can. All right. All these pieces, we're just going to chuck everything. Got a little cleaning wipe here. It's totally urine and other gunky stuff to come off there. You just want to make sure all this is clean. That way you give yourself the best possible seal. Yeah, perfect. These are just half inch. I don't know what size the other ones were, but I couldn't get them off with my nut driver. You guys ever use these Quinn nut drivers? Man, I'll tell you what, I love them. I mean, check that out. You know, it turns into a tea handle for tightening. You'll see in a minute. Like, super cool. Harbor Freight find. So glad this stuff came off the way that it did. They don't always come out this way. All right, these little things might come in handy. I think I might keep these just because we'll see how this sets on the tank. I think this could work out really well for this. You want to get this off. These Kipex Cobra jaws open up pretty good size. These 12 in. And that's going to be able to pop that right out of there. We're able to take this and just flip it the whole way around. And so now we're in the tank. And you can see like as we start pulling this stuff up, these gaskets are trashed, man. Okay, let's get this unhooked right here. Get that unhook that off of there. So, look, all this comes out of here and those are all ready to be replaced. Okay, let's just get it gone. Gaskets start deteriorating like that and they're leaving black stuff all over. Time to go. Get some paper towel in here and let's get all this nastiness soaked up. That looks pretty good to me. One other thing we got to do here. These are reverse nuts. So, righty tighty to take off. Okay. But you can see right there that is worn down. It's been worn down. They Well, they broke off that part of it and then it's just been wearing on the side of the tank ever since. We're going to fix that today. I'll show you how. Stick around.
