Bryan,  nice video, in spite of the many challenges you encountered
during the filming of it.
I now feel like I could do my heater in a day easily.  Other folks
descriptions of the process make it sound unduly difficult.   I'm sure
dealer mechanics had to crank these out in a very short time; I wonder
what the book says for labor hours?  I know many of us would rather "do
it right" and also take care of all of the little extras that make all
the difference in the long run, and to prevent having to do this big
chore again anytime soon.
   One helpful method that I like to use to prevent loss and mixing up
of fasteners, is to screw them back together lightly where they belong
while disassembling things.   It helps a lot when going back together.
