RGA scan taken of the X-End vacuum volume with GV20 hard closed. GV20 was hard closed and LOTOed. All metal valve was opened for GV20 gate annulus.
Purge air was measured, dp at -42.4 oC. Large ion pump and RGA were isolated. Then the vacuum envelope was vented, it appears as if the piranni gauge at BSC9 is out of calibration, it does have a larger than atmosphere number, 981 Torr at atmosphere, not right.
We proceeded to vent the BSC9 annulus with nitrogen gas. Soon after the +Y side door was convinced to let go of the flange, at first the outer O-ring was stuck at around 1 O'clock , maybe 3 inches long, but let go after a few minutes. We left the system with purge air going.
