EVERY bolt that's been turned, part that's been installed, adjustment that's been made, etc. on every vehicle i've owned for the past 15+ years has been done by me with two exceptions: I always let someone else install my tires on my rims, and when I had my custom true dual exhaust installed on my race Buick. I turn wrenches for a living, though. If you aren't sure how to do something, have it done for you. There's nothing wrong with that, as long as you cop to it. I knew a guy who had a beautifull 1966 SS Chevelle that was tricked out, and when I asked him what size carb he had, he answered "A Holley". He didn't know. He played it off like he did all the work, yet he didn't even know if he had 13/16" spark plugs. Most people were so impressed with the car, they never asked him any technical questions, so he just played it off. Made me sick.

Take care,
