Message	feels great and inspirational. I'm glad to hear it went well! Nice method, too. I suppose you could use it to tighten, too, if you were careful and listened closely for the "click". I had to go get my next-door-neighbor and have him crank on that wrench as hard as he could. =) You don't have to live in a bubble just because someone else caught the flu. Make your decision on your ability to trust yourself. - NytWolf 15:49:05 12/17/06 I was previously a aviation mechanic and avionic technician and this car is harder to work on than Aircraft. - Hocuz77 03:04:56 02/28/06
