My advice is to recuit a neighborhood kid with small hands
Some will even do it for a chocolate bar or a can of coke! With my car I was able to change the quadrant in a matter of minutes but on my friends car we cursed at it for a couple of hours trying to get the spring loaded piece out.
I was thinking of going to mission on friday but I'm gonna go to the Arts County Fair at UBC instead (As a student there it is almost my duty to go there and get completely ruined), hoping to get there on the 12th though.
