I started another thread, but thought I would post here as well to follow up. We ran into a leaky return line fitting. We dug down, drained the pool down to the fitting level and removed the fitting. When we went to install the new fitting, we can't fit it through the hole in the liner as the flange is too big, is there a trick that nanyone knows to do this? Should we try to diconnect the liner and slide the fitting between the pool wall and the liner from the top?

thanks
