John,
    I have a Bentley.   I am just checking out a used
part that I purchased from "notajeep" as a spare.   My
rpm runs high at times(about 2k) but always drops to
1k.   I was hoping a new relay might solve that.   The
one from notajeep was 251 907 393D and my old one was
251 907 393B.   John,you were the only one on the list
that clued me into the fact that the relay and plug
can be removed together from the hanger.   In this way
you can slide the whole assembly underneath and out
the hole of the taillight so that you can more
carefully wiggle out the relay and replace with a
different one.  Thatnks to everyone who gave me
directions but especially John who gave that little
extra information about the hanging relay.   It is
safe to say that most anyone can do this job and it is
a good reason to have a spare relay as these things
sell mew for 200 dollars,
Thanks to notajeep for all his hard work on supplying
us with parts.   gary
