Good. The first time I chainged mine I figured out what the funny shaped wrench the give you was for. There's not enuf room on mine to get an extension and a ratchet in and I needed the wrench they provide to reach it. Even then I could only ger 1/8 turn at a time

One of those extendable magnets came in handy when changing mine. I had to use it to get the socket and plug out.

And can someone tell me the trick to getting the boot off without destroying it. Working on the 3rd boot so far and 50 a pop is ridiculous. The 1st I'll admit to it caught me off guard, but every time I try a little piece rips off. And of course I have those helpful friends that can do it no problem. Thats why I need boot #4, and the plug has never needed changing. But for some reason its always the first thing someone checks when they can't get it started. Never the gas shutoff valve.
