          The most difficult thing will be to change the alternator belt. According to the shop manual, an engine out procedure

          Fluids change, filters, brakes, door strud, window stiffener, radiator bushings. The rest is detailing...

                    • image_16043.jpgimage_16044.jpg ... when I was a kid I helped raise church bells into the tower of a new church in Luzern Switzerland! I am afraid I have no pictures of that event, but found similar ones. In Zurich "Enge" for example, in 1894 they used 1,000 schoolchildren to raise even the largest bells (together 16,000 lbs) all the way up to the bell tower. See pics....

                      ... what can we learn from this?

                      --> make the removal of your wheels a local event! A big party, invite school classes and a brass band! It will work!

                          Very cool. Makes me want to see the movie Fitzcarraldo again

                              • image_16048.jpg I stupidly overtightened this wheel last year, and now it won't come off. Not even with two people on the extended breaker bar. The brakes, emergency brake, in gear, and a wood block can't avoid the wheel to turn in place.

                                Next weekend we'll continue. We'll be adding a wheel chock, lower the air pressure (?), sledge hammer the breaker bar to shock it into release. We might need 5 people
