Thanks, Yes, you seem to have an answer. I wasn’t sure if the tube comes off and goes back on. That seems reasonable. I’ll try it tomorrow. I’m not sure how to grab it firmly and not put a kink in it. It is a hollow tube. Pliers should do it. If I need to grab it real hard maybe I’ll put a metal bolt on it so I don’t bend it too much when I apply pressure with the pliers.
Comment before 4:00 p.m. CST Monday if you have any other ideas or advise. Thanks
