Thanks Jerry, for the word of advice. I hadn't seen that reference in my
Haynes - probably because I was looking for more complicated and expensive
stuff first. :) I should know better by now - always check the simple
stuff first to rule it out. I'm going to reread that section and take a
look at those pads tomorrow.
Again, thanks very much. Helpful people like yourself is what makes this
such a great place to be - especially for beginning parts changers like
myself. :)
