Easiest fix there is. Push down firmly with your palm and twist. It's not the **** that is upside down it's just the little cover piece with the H pattern on it.

I'll throw a pic up later if I remember when I get home. easier than explaining. Warm it up too, that will help.

If I just push down with my palm and twist it goes back to where it is supposed to be.

Believe me I've tried doing it that way, I'll try prying it up or putting on a glove that has grip and try again. Its not that big of a deal, just wanna get it corrected. Thanks for the tips though

ahh man its a simple fix. just take a sawzal and chop it off about 3" below the **** then turn it str8 and weld it back on. make sure to wet the inside of your truck really good so you dont burn it up.
