Bobert,
Gear puller works like a lever, right?


Yeah, 999..I've explored the lines here pretty well and haven't discovered any hidden valves. I've been working on this project and trying to get it thought out for a few days..just got hung up on that damn handle not coming off like I thought it should.

There's one for the toilet and one for the washer..sure can't find one for sink/tub.

Thanks all.
I intend to give the task full attention for a while tomorrow..will be back with new questions if I come upon something else that throws me.
