Don't feel bad, Greg. Everyone poked fun at me for FOLLOWING the manual when I did the rear shock. Manual? Don't need it. Use the FAQ! Robert Wichert P.Eng. LEED AP BD&C +1 916 966 9060 FAX +1 916 966 9068 ===============================================

yea experience wins out every time over book learning only i always trade doing my own maint for tools i need either to do the job or tools i need in general. that said, i do have a hard time buying tools i'll only need once... doing the doo comes to mind. my list of materials includes 2 gaskets, a rotor bolt, a puller, a special wrench and (if all goes well) an hour + of my time all to repair a known serious manufacturer's 'weak point'... that does not sit well with me. i'm tempted to let the dealer do it. gregc

I usually justify the cost of tools vs. the cost of having someone do it for me. If the first time I need to have it done would pay for the tools, I go ahead and buy them. With the doo tools, certainly someone will lend them to you... -Jeff Khoury

cough. I believe that would be... revmaaatin. however, there have been many good suggestions concerning the slide, diaphram, and spring that act in a similar manner; all useful information as a trouble shooting guide.
