Set backs

Lots of set backs with this maintainence job... It's been almost 3 weeks and I'm still not back on the road yet. Tonight brought another fine example. Again caused by using that gear puller on the pipe... the gap where the clip for the hose is supposed slip in has been collasped. I was able to pry the left side open but haven't had any luck with the right side yet as you can see. The one good thing is that the material is very soft so if I can wedge something in there it will open up again as easily as it closed. (click for larger image)
