The engine is a C85 and somebody at field said it had swaged tubes...I
haven't looked yet but how can swaged tubes be removed? Sometimes I get
confused when asking before looking G. Thanks.

On a C-85, I once fixed a leaky lower boot by taking off the
retaining rings and massaging the boot with a silicon lubricant,
then slipping the boot back on. The engine was relatively new
and I think the boot had been caught somehow on the original
assembly. Did not require any disassembly, but was a bear to
get to!! Ercoupe. YMMV. Bill Hale
