Gree "Crown" 18kBTU install

Xringer · 09-09-16, 10:12 AM

Used the impact driver (which can drive long deck screws), twice with no movement.
Then went CW for 0.5 second and went back CCW twice more for 3 to 4 seconds each time.
(Checking for damage between every try).

Got some wear on the 5MM and some brass or bronze dust on the tool.. But no luck..

The only thing I can think of doing now, is use a hair dryer on the fitting
and bring it up to 120 F (to expand the outer casing?) and give it another shot with the driver..

I'm going to be calling Gree support pretty soon..
