Success!
Finally able to actually pull the coupler from the car and get it on the bench. The
Flange at the end of the fuel neck was bent slightly. I was able to hammer straight.
I cleaned the threads on the coupler and lubricated with a few drops of 3in1 oil. I attached the new lead washer to the flange with just a little bit of contact cement to hold it in place until it was screwed back in. Screwed it back on most of the way by hand. Finished the last few turns with a spammer wrench and a hammer.
Now to put my wagon back together!
