Hi Bruce,

I've done this a couple times (twice) and I am amazed at your comprehensive recollection of the job. Nothing seems left out. Nothing I can add.

Just a comment on the time it might take: I had done this on a 79 about 6 years ago and recall an easy 1-hour procedure. With that experience behind me, I offered to do the same for a friend with a 77, one day while he had it in my driveway. Same task, but oh, so different. The seals on his had turned to some kind of incompressible super compound, making my estimate of an hour of easy labor turn into a good part of the afternoon.

Having a good "L" shaped prybar is apparently a plus. I was tempted at one point to grind an injector-sized slot into my demolition bar, rendering it forever useless for pulling nails.
