Ok great, I thought I was doing it right, I just underestimated the amount of force that would be required and wanted to check in before I hurt something.

Great idea!

Wow! And I was worried I was applying to much force by leaning on my socket wrench with most of my weight.

I feel confident now in what I'm doing, I'll give it another crack (hopefully not too literally) this afternoon and report back.

Thanks!
