Hi!

All I want to say is it's just taken me and friend 13 hours to change leaking rear main oil seal on my 855 (inc 45 minutes lunch!)

What a job - Give me an evaporator change anytime!

I did mine in 10.5, are sure that was only a 45 minute break? Just kidding. What a bitch of a job.... that's why mine went buy buy. Did the rear main and then another $1,000 worth of repairs popped up.

That subframe is a joy to remove.

You're a better man than I Gungadin.I think I'm going to have to pay to have mine done (putting off as long as possible).
