I can't speak for Loran, but I have worked on many, many machines - some of which are now off the road because they are unsafe due to rust. And the Mercedes still surprise me with how well the fasteners un-fasten. Even on assemblies that clearly should be permanently fuse. So, not every single fasten has unscrewed without effort - but many, many times they _don't_ twist off!! -- Philip _______________________________________ http://www.okiebenz.com For new and used parts go to www.okiebenz.com To search list archives http://www.okiebenz.com/archive/ To Unsubscribe or change delivery options go to: http://mail.okiebenz.com/mailman/listinfo/mercedes_okiebenz.com
