Sorry, couldn't help that... that title "quick" foil delete... it just cracked me up because I've NEVER seen anyone refer to the process as being "quick"!


Seriously, though... glad you got it done. Like he said, just make sure your boots are really snug.

I don't know if "&%#@ing tight" is the actual torque value , but yes, ensure there is no residual oil on the tube ends or boots and clamp it back together.
