I got my tubes in last night - did a "test fit" of the rubber boat plug and it really doesn't tighten too well to get a good internal grip on the new tube.

I can hold the rubber plug in my hand and turn it with a wrench to get it to compress and expand it's own diameter, but I don't think that will be very feasible tomorrow when I can't hold it and also have limited clearance to grip the t-handle with a wrench.

I may have to do like one guy wrote somehere here about cutting my wife's kitchen wash glove to boost the diameter a bit. (Hoping that doesn't get stuck inside the engine though.)

I plan to attack in the morning!
