I did not take the jet holder out. I held it with a wrench and took out just the jet.
My objective was to make one change at a time and my first was the mains. I thought I might need to shim the needles at some point. Thanks for your input.
So should I just order the 45's right now? looks like I will need them. I thought that's what was in there but like you said, turned out to be 48's.
