[QUOTE="zemuron99, post: 1532972, member: 26516"] (Cross posted in SPD 170 Thermostat thread). Well, 2nd time was the charm! Won't even BEGIN to describe the un-dignified position I was in, draped over the passenger fender. Popped the t'stat in, used a small flat-blade screwdriver to hold it in place until I could get a grip on the housing cover and mostly position it. Slid the screwdriver out as I held the housing in place with my left hand, and hand-threaded the bolts in by hand then sockets. Went one-by-one tightening a bit more each time just to keep pressure even. Filled it up, heard it burping a few times but no leaks. Stared her up, let her get warm to 180 or so and it was bone dry. WOOHOO. Too pooped to even take a quick spin round the neighborhood, will save that for another day. Thanks for the support and encouragement everyone! [/QUOTE]
