You're being facetious, right Roland? In matters of brakes and steering, 
I'm 110% cautious especially if I don't know the capabilities of the 
questioner. As you know, we have people on this list that can break an anvil with a 
rubber mallet... We've also had amateurs "overhaul" steering racks that 
subsequently LOCKED up in turns- probably when the replacement bushing fell out 
of its recepticle. Serious business indeed. FWIW- J Deryke
