Are you sure?Which o ring are you trying to get at?

http://www.zdspb.com/tech/mguide/ion/maintenance_bolt.html go down to the fire bolt and its the o-ring 11/70 thats why it is leaking because it coming from the bolt.

Well,i didn't know that!
I think you'll have a hard time getting to that without damaging anything.
Unless it's a left hand thread?

Are you definitely sure thats the culprit?
