Another advantage of the ratchet is that if you forget to take it off it just ratchets. I've done it. It makes a lot of noise, and causes some minor embarrasment, but it doesn't hurt anything, other than, possibly, the ratchet. > Also, however you turn it over, don't forget to disable the ignition > while turning it.

Still, that's another reason I'm glad I invested in the ratcheting box end wrench. -- ******************************* Jim Adney, jadney@vwtype3.org Madison, Wisconsin, USA ******************************* ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ List info at http://www.vwtype3.org/list | mailto:gregm@vwtype3.org
