Ah, that is exactly what I began to wonder after
hearing how difficult it is to get these things
apart! If the rest of my car is any indication,
then it's a good bet it's found a way to get itself
into a condition that it needs to be replaced. :)
Still, I'd be interested to hear if this belongs
on Terry Wakemans indestructible parts list, and
whether I might be able to get away with not tearing
this apart after all.
Thanks!
