Hayapower--

I realize this is a bad way to start my first post............ but!

Many of us could learn from your experience regarding pulling a door panel. Unfortunately you did not post how to, appears you responded via email.

Everybody gains something from someone elses experience if he shares it with all.

Just my comments, no offense intended.

No offense taken, and there is certainly strenght in numbers and experience as I'm painfully aware, whitnessed too

and grateful for....
The reason that I respond to some by email isn't to shroud info at the forum level on a help request.. The reason is, that depending on the job, if the technical info/illustrations are lengthy it takes me extra time (some quite a bit if a large repair) to edit the written script and insert the images so that they make sense in a reply post as they don't transfer straight over, when clarity may be the key.. Most times it's a pictured/step process, and I may already have it data logged and it's just easier on me to email/send.. Sometimes members posts without doing a forum search for a particular help topic that may have been covered already, and searching forums can certainly be time consuming looking for specific needs.. An an email or repost from a previous thread is just not having to re-edit over and over..
