	Mike?? He asked me first before this post, but I told him to ask the
all knowing orb, errr the quattro list when I should have just asked you
myself and got back to him, huh!?! I bet it's fine, I don't see why it
wouldn't work.....but I wasn't about to give advice like that out w/o
knowing! C Ya! Weekend is here!
	Time to ACTUALLY_DO_EVERYTHING I said I was doing/had done this past
week. Woooooopppss! ;-)
	I have to do my bearing-it sucks the big noise-maker! What do you
suggest, either removing the strut assembly OR finding a puller and
doing it myself? I know you said it was a hard time removing the bearing
even with a puller, but all other listers said it was "no problem."

	REALLY IMPORTANT: What tool number(s) do I need to remove the strut
assembly? I think it is only one - the thingy used to hold the bolt on
the strut bearing cap stationary, right? HOW MUCH DINERO($)!? Thanks!
	If I remove the strut assembly with the tool, is it then easy to
replace the strut bearing cap!? If so, I should do both bearings and
both caps, right? Thanks again. :-) Gotta love havin' another Coupe guy,
albeit a lot more knowledgeable one, around...you know?!
