Yes, but the only real knuckle-buster is getting the rubber spacer out if you don't have the wierd two-arm puller like the Bentley's suggests using. Some people have said that the spacer will just slip out, but that hasn't been my experience (I've been on switch #3 for awhile).

I got them from different FLAPS, and they all more or less said, "Popular item, huh?" Looks like time to find one that I'm sure is von Deutschland, but that one will inevitably screw up, too (the original did, after all.)

Have fun, Sam
