Yay Gary! See? Anyone can do it. The right tools are definitely the trick and
the seal puller is a very finely engineered piece of equipment. Now... what
are you going to do with all the money you saved? My local dealer told me $900
to $1000 to replace all the typical parts when doing the tbelt. You probably
spent around $200.
