Fred,  Sorry for the late reply, I just did this job last week.  I had to
take mine off, and can say with confidence, there was no way in the world
they would of been able to be replaced on the car.  After several late
night hours talking to Joe Curry (Thanks a lot Joe)  I decided to have the
pressed out at the local machine shop.  The difference is absolutely
unbelievable!!!!  I would have to say go with the manual.
