And get a set of crow foot wrench....it'll help massively.

This is pretty much what I figured I would do. But out of curiosity, is it terribly difficult to remove the elbow and put it back on? Which Loctite is used on the bolts and anyone know what to torque the bolts too when putting it back on? Sorry if this is answered somewhere earlier in the thread.
