Greg, You only do it once. (4 or 5 times!!! Is Homer Simpson doing this?) After that you tend to take the following precautions: 1. make sure you have plenty of room to work in (well as much as you can in the limited space); 2. make sure any possible tools you need are in arms reach (its a pain holding five shims and needs that spanner 3 metres away); 3. Don't take your hand away from the Gen. until you have all the shims held by the hand your taking them off with or the hand your holding it together with; and the most important thing 4. Make sure you have someone with flexible small arms that can retrieve !@#$%^&* shims when the inevitable happens. Also relax a little. By gritting your teeth cursing and swearing a lot might make your feel better but doesn't solve the problem. Another idea I've seen is that some (really, really) smart person actually made a little tray-like thing that goes under the fanbelt in the housing so that if the shims and nut do fall they wont fall far. Just a thought. Hope this helps. Regards, Wayne '72 Notch '73 Square '83 Sigma
