Thanks for the reply. It is obviously NOT the answer I was hoping for
though. I wanted a "If you buy this $5.00 magic bolt teleportation tool you
can take it off without removing all that crap" answer (no such luck). Apart
from being time consuming would you classifty this as an easy job (Remember
I'm new at this)? I'll go through my Bentley to figure out the gaskets
involved here, anything else I should replace while I'm doing this? I'll
probably at least do the v-belt.
Thanks,
