Re: Questions about 90K mi. service on '89 90Q

You will want the tools for the front pulley and front crank seal, this can
be really tough without them (though do-able with creativity). This answers
the holding of the balancer issue also. For suggestion of other items check
the list at http://home.gci.net/~eurocar/Full.htm (this list is suitable for
all vehicles, just drop the items which do not apply). If hard to read,
download Excel file http://home.gci.net/~eurocar/Files/SERVICE2.XLS
