I do not see a nut on it - looks like a pin of some kind do you drive that through or will the whole thing come off when I remove the panel - bit nervous to remove it before knowing what might happen if i do.

Work from the left side and place a lamp near the left side. If you have the OEM type valve with the cotter pin through it you will probably need to remove the cotter pin in order to install the box end wrench. Doing so will likely take longer than the rest of the job but it can be done. Dean [Reply]  [No Email]

You should be able to get the relief valve off from the left side. Jimps in GA. [Reply]  [No Email]
