Yeah if I can just raise that part of the spring that’s directly hitting the ratchet, I would be good. But I ran out of ideas earlier and gave up. These cheap compressors are the worst. I didn’t know why I tried to make it work when it clearly didnt.
I don’t have a bench vise that will help with leverage which is too bad. I was thinking of a way to open or spread that gap up, but again, my idiot mind ran oit of ideas. Clearly I’m a novice in this area🤦🏻
Someone told me to just cut the wrench close enough so it will not spin, then use another wrench since there’s enough of the nut still exposed to loosen it. Cutting the compressor itself is not a good idea I keep telling myself.
