If so, you just need a good idea of how it is all supposed to look when it is together. That, and a couple of good levers and being careful. The spring is quite strong and can hurt you badly if you let it get away from you at the wrong time. If you look thru the Bentley manual, I think you will find a picture of how this is supposed to go together. Some careful thought given to making the right tools for this is a very good idea. I have made levers for this kind of thing from rectangular steel bar, sometimes a slot cut in the side of such a bar lets you slide over the right angled part of the bar and twist it safely and controllably. - Jim Adney jadney@vwtype3.org Madison, WI 53711-3054 USA ------------------------------------------------------------------- Unsubscribe? mailto:type3-request@vwtype3.org, Subject: unsubscribe
