With the open end wrench captive to the air line and full weight of coach on the system it still spins in the bag and not the external nut. So put it back together until after the long weekend and I can see about getting that fill bolt and nut ftom JimK or Cinnabar. For now it's all funtional and not beached. The old springs look pretty good and they were put in by PO and Golby probably 12+ years ago so don't want to hammer mechanic the parts if not available. Again, happy to he in climate controlled barn where I can walk away when tired and not trying this with semi's whizzing by. I will use antisieze or Synpower on the big nuts in the end so it is truly a 30 min job if stuck on side of road in future.
