WFPC/3 is loose. Seems to still be engaged in the A-Latch, though. Houston agrees with a few more turns with the PGT to see if they can loosen it up.

Mirror looks "very clean" according to Drew. Going to start pitching WFPC/3 up and getting ready to install into Hubble. John going to check the canister to make sure things are clean before installing WFPC/2 into the SLIC.
