"ALLYN CHRISTOPHER: Okay, now we've got everything pretty much set up. Now, we're going to close up our turbine assembly here. Again, using the original shroud, we're going to go ahead and put it in place. Okay? Now, it is keyed here, set back, and it's going to match that which makes it--well, just pretty darn easy. That's set in there. Now there's three screws and that's why you set them aside 'cause I'm going to use some of the original screws from the cleaner to make that happen and that will be fantastic. Again, they stay in pretty good shape. I'm going to go ahead and set one of these in here. Now this one, because it's a permanent set, I can just squeeze it all there, okay? And now is when we do the final adjustment here, where that sits, so it wants to be underneath there, and you'll see a little gap there and then just thread the needle with the difference on there. That keeps all the water pressure inside of it, so that it, well, it can't--and now we're ready to set the other two screws in place. I'm loving the clicking. Now, it didn't move, so I'm going to kick it up just a touch--ah, you like that, don't you? Okay, beautiful! Now, over here again, we're going to want to lube it up and place it right on top. Not a big deal, nice and supple. To go with our official twist tie, excuse me, zip tie, all right? And feed it right through. Try not to make a mistake 'cause these are one way. Again, the keyed end or beveled end is right around there and we give it a little twist there. Sometimes what I like to do is to grab it with my needle-nose here and just sort of pull it over. There you go. That's a beautiful thing. Okay, got one little tip there. Then using my embedded pair of dikes, click, drop and now we have a completely closed system here ready for high pressure cleaning."
