JB the older I get the more I realize that time can actually be spent by
moving stuff completely out of the way... I watch good mechanics do this
all the time and think to myself, why bother? I can wiggle in there...
and then I realize that I've taken much longer to do the job and drop
stuff down in crevices and so on... sometimes it's just easier and quicker to
remove stuff... When doing the fuel injectors on the '92 XJ 4.0L I removed
the stuff in the way and it went a lot faster...
you know, I think Mr. Murphy watches to see if we take short cuts... :)
if we do, he tries to help. :)
