    ON some furnaces you will have to take out a burner to get to the screw or screws that hold the "Square" in place. After you get it to where you can put a small wrench on the nut (some have a nut holding the thermocouple in place some the thermocouple will just slip into the slot). Once you are ready to put it back in place use a wrench to tighten the nut that holds the pilot gas tube in place, they can leak from moving them around.
