So the second one can reach down there? That is the one I was eying at advanced this afternoon. They also had the one above for rent. It does not reach down to the spring though. I'd have to use an 02 socket or something to get the pressure on there.

They have them for rent here. I am getting one tomorrow. Must see what this head can do. Thanks for the feedback.
