Sumbitch........broke the damn OPSU when I was putting it back in. Even using the "special" socket.

They break easy.

Gotta hope to get a new one somewhere tomorrow.

Yep, they're fragile little suckers. Did you remember to put some teflon tape on the threads so it wouldn't leak when you were all done?

Good ideea, but most good sending units these days already have a sealer on the threads. Just don't double it up.

Correction: LS1 sending unit uses a gasket, so no sealer is required:
