wish i knew what's available to do once that cover is off? http://forums.pelicanparts.com/support/smileys/dom.gif

Make sure when you reassemble everything the rubber shaft bushing (with the needle bearings) at the firewall didn't fall down. I have seen one very worn one disappear to be found later when the shaft clunks on the underside of the cowl after reinstall. It's rare but sheet happens.
