to the laughing vanagoneers ...
LOL indeed ...
Not quite that inept ...
inept but not quite THAT inept
actually this cover had never been off before and was tight on the back
upper corner
my helper was a very knowledgeable metal guy who pointed out the tight joint
and the possibility of problems with the top catching in the sharp corner
...

once we got the back forward and lifted a little (just like bentley says)
the cover lifted out clean and simple ...

as far as my ineptness goes ... i am more the sort to retighten with out
heeding torque and turn off nuts, bolts and screws in places where you have
to disassemble half the unit to get at it with the tap and die ... my bad
...

but removing body panels with out damage ... so far so good ...;o)
yours
by the way what does BTDT mean ???

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)
