dear all
before attempting any procedure on a vanagon
the very first thing to do is buy a BENTLEY ...
2. turn to the pages dealing with sliding door
3. read carefully about the removal ...
add two things to their description...
another guy who is capable of holding the sliding door in case of some
unplanned incident
also have other guy there to hold the cover plate out while you tap up
against your rubber wedge...
4. for the sake of safety have some sort of device there large enough and
strong enough to hold the weight of the door once the sliding wheel has been
removed from the track ...

the directions in the bentley are pretty clear ...

oh yes we also gave the cover a tap forward before tapping upward ...
to make sure the ends were clear to avoid bending due to catching ...

There are two kinds of jobs in the world:
Picking up garbage and telling people things.
Successful people do both, with the same good attitude. (riw)
