Yea, going along somewhat smoothly. Than I get to this clamp thing, the front of it is loose, the back seems stuck. Tried raising and lowering the blower with the bolts, didn't help.
Any ideas? It's gotta be suck, right? Tried smacking it a little - screwdriver and hammer. Should I keep smacking it?
Also, it appears that the bottom piece coming out of blower(threaded round thing) is screwed into the hx/waterbox. I'm supposed to be able to slide the blower back when I get this clamp off.
Looks like one piece is inside the other... Meaning nothings sliding anywhere.
I gotta work monday! Any help?!
