George here.  It's wicked chilly here in our
lattitude.
On second thought, attempting this project on your
own, possibly outdoors, with no deep desire to do so
may just be a bad idea. I sure wouldn't think any less
of you if you passed on this particular bit of
character-building.
A confession here. I own a Vanagon and a '78 Volvo
kidmobile. I am not a real mechanic. I don't even like
cars all that much. I pedal/walk to work daily, year
round. I just work on them to keep 'em going without a
couple of car payments each month. I respect the
machinery, but I don't love it.
Ciao from Grand Rapids, MI, where it is getting too
cold  to hold a wrench.
