....and thus commences my second post.

[Tim Leonard]

I did my own. It was easy except the twisted off studs. The parts prices are
a rip. Approx. $160.00. If it still works don't worry about it. I did mine
only because I worried about it. I did not need to. They are supposed to
have what I felt to be excessive play.
Best regards,
Tim Leonard
