Hi Byprod, yes both an 8mm and 5/16 appeared to be adequately snug. I’m not in any hurry and it gave me a reason to order more tools.

The lower ‘squeeze’ connector is the only challenge left. I can’t get any leverage. Plan is to liberate the AOS and then try to release the lower tube.

I’ll be able to do a 2003/2004 AOS in no time if the opportunity ever presents itself in the future.
