All I do is take the lines off and go to the flaps with them ..
in most cases ..to me .
it is Work on the Van first ..
then go get the right parts,
not the other way around as I so commonly see .

and of course it makes sense to have  a clutch or brake parts in hand
first..
but 'usually' ...it's find out what is there and going on first..
THEN go after the right parts for the particular situation.

and sometimes .it's not even a part..
it's just cleaning and adjusting and tweaking ....very often actually.

And just imagine all the parts in people's garages and storage areas they
got to put on their van 'someday.'
and never gotrountoit.
