Trust me on this one and don't ask how I know.. LOL
TOO funny and I will be sure to do just that. Thanks for the photos of the stuff I need to change it out AND...for finding it on Ebay and even getting someone with 100% positive feedback......bought it!

Well sounds like your all set.. If you don't have that little socket.. a set of them is fairly cheap.. and those bolts are all over the car. And if you have smaller hands.. (being female I'm guessing you do..) you will be able to reach in there without much issue. Give us a shout if you run into any issues.. Oh.. and I think you will be the second female here to do this.. congrats.. LOL.

Don't mind going the extra steps to help a lady out on our cars.. I find it admirable that you want to learn and work on your own car.. most would just want someone else to do it or end up ripped off at some shop..

Oh.. and just to make sure your on the right road with tools.. You will have to have the smaller 1/4 drive tools.. anything else is to big to get down in there..

Oh... just read a thread that reminded me to make mention to you.. You do know the hood will go straight up vertical open right? That way your not having to lean under it..

You heard about the Australian out jogging and getting shot close by in Duncan, OK right? We are just going to jump across and jump back Sunday it looks like.. so they best be fast.. LOL.

When the hood is all the way up.. near the top of the support rod is a little button to push in to let it back down to "normal" open position. Kinda like a nice "showoff" feature at car shows.. LOL.

Yes I did hear about that and it was very upsetting..also upsetting is that it was deemed NOT Racially motivated which is a joke based on those kids comments. I will be glad to get my license to carry next month! I'm going to have to pull the xfire out tomorrow and play with that!I

You learn all sorts of neat things hanging out here on the forum.. LOL.

And we can't go there on the other things mentioned.. but on the vette forum you can go way out on that limb. Zimmerman trial was real interesting to follow over there!

Yeah..after I hit send I thought perhaps I shouldn't have made the one comment but I guess it's out there now. I wouldn't even head over there..I'm sure there's way too much anger....kinda like following the election comments on facebook..craziness. Did I tell you I traveled out to the land of fruits and nuts recently...LOL!

Well I must say that it's reminiscent of someone by the last name of Simpson. But that's another path better not trodden on, but it doesn't appear jail favors him... poor thing.

I see we could find things of mutual interest to discuss at a "get together".. LOL. I never felt the need for a hand gun till I moved off into some less than favorable apartments over 20 years ago with my 3 year old daughter.. haven't done the licensed carry thing.. but glad it's next to the bed. Think rural living most know "we" have guns out here.. LOL.
