Yes this was very helpful, I feel pretty confident I could fully disassemble the entire thing and re-assemble it now. Yesterday I had to use a 3 foot pipe on my spanner wrench to get it to even budge and I had to continue to use the pipe while removing the side cap until I got it almost out (1.5 rotations). It had some white crusty gunk on it that made the removal process very challenging. I had to use so much pressure that the cap its self now has slightly elongated wrench holes. I believe it is still usable but nearly impossible to remove. In hindsight I had thought about using heat and probably should have but was a little concerned about how that would effect the rubber gasket ring. I'm a pretty mechanical guy so this stuff doesn't intimidate me but not a lot of people would use a 3 or 4 foot pipe and practically jump on it to remove a cap. Not sure what you were using to keep them from loosening up but it seems overkill in hindsight, lol.

Great video!! Thank you!!

25-28 mm or what, for the hook/spanner wrench?
Would you be able to email us an image of what you are seeing with a picture so we can review? support@nativewatercraft.com
@@NativeWatercraftupdate: just found out that the hook/spanner wrench I ordered and received was the wrong size.
