Thanks Paul.

JC Christian suggested using an air drill, and I've been lusting after a good 
90-degree drill for years, so I took it upon myself to capitalize upon the 
situation and just ordered a 90-degree air drill from Harbor Freight.   Earlier 
today I ordered a super-duper fuel filter.   When all the boxes arrive, I'll 
get to work.

I presume that the vent window will have to come out, and I know that it just 
pushes out.   But there's got to be more to it than that--does anybody have 
any tips, tricks, techniques for getting the window out smoothly?

Mike
