Howdy all.

 I have a Lycoming  O-320 E3D engine that I am installing in an

RV9A. I am trying to remove the baffles. There is one screw that sits right

behind the oil filler  tube. To get to this screw I am going to have to take

off the oil filler tube, which on this engine is plastic. I presume that

 this is a normal right hand thread and not left hand.  I cannot get a

 spanner or wrench onto the bottom of the tube, but there is a "nut" about

 half up the tube. All my efforts so far have only succeeded in deforming 

the

 tube and the wrench slipping off. I am too scared of cracking this tube to

 grip it with vice grips, does anyone have a solution to this problem??

Thanks,

 Mick
