I've got a bit of work to do on the car this weekend. I printed Quad's process for reference.

When I first bought the manuals I saw that they didn't include anything that was not changed from previous generations. So over the next few years I collected the full set of factory manuals back to 65. I haven't used any except the 993 ones but they might be the best investment I have ever made. If my retirement fund appreciated the same over the same period I would be retired now.

reminds me of my moto from my old service tech days..."if it don't fit, force it, if it breaks...it needed replacing anyway..."

My objective in this purchase is solely to reduce / eliminate the usage of a hammer during car projects.
