So Much Pain In The Butt

The fuel filler neck on The Ranger took a crap.

The only way to replace it is to do this.

By taking out six of these monsters.

Lordy. Lots of slow turning with the 24-inch breaker bar. Sadly, I need to replace two of them as they were in pretty bad shape, so I’ll be pulling them out again in the near future.

Not a complicated repair, but a giant pain.

I did ask the wife if we could leave the bed raised. She was not keen on the idea. Not at all.

Don’t have an impact wrench? This one costs under $40 https://www.amazon.com/WEN-48107-7-5-Amp-Two-Direction-Electric/dp/B07FD2N4MZ/ref=sr_1_42?crid=1JEMNXE6VZWP5&dchild=1&keywords=impact+wrench&qid=1588230256&sprefix=impact+w%2Caps%2C209&sr=8-42

Thank you. This is a sign from the universe that it has softened it’s stance on me having power tools

This is clearly a sign that it’s time to install some hydraulics.

Someone else said that on the Twitter. I think it’s a good idea.
