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

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.
