Once again I removed the nearest brackets holding up the CSST to loosen the whole assembly.

I was able to touch the pipe to the elbow at this point.

I would like you to note these knuckle-skin-eating nail points coming through the bottom of the floor, right where I'm going to be moving my hand on the wrench. You can bet I noticed them.

The angle was very awkward. Trivia--this is a very rare self portrait of my own right hand. Also very awkward.
