Well, I got the book, mirror, a lot of Allen keys and a torque wrench so I'm almost there. =) I think I'll start with another trip to my car (it's in a garage ~15 min on bike from me so every little thing take its time) and measure exactly how long it needs to be and to get a feel for how it's all looking IRL - take the guesswork out of it a bit.

That sounds promising, I've have not yet seen anyone that carries straight Allen keys but I guess they should exist. Or did you use any other combination of tools?

It does, very interesting! Wow, this is really half of the joy of owning this car - learning all the stuff, both the theory and how to wrench it.
Thanks guys (and gals?)!
