yes, that is much better.

I did find the picture of the 1/2 inch extension used to jam the vibration damper to loosen the crankshaft bolt; I attached a copy here, not the greatest image. I wonder why this is recommended for some transmissions but not others?

I didn't even look at the car Monday or Tuesday. I am still optimistic that I won"t have to deal with removing the balancing disk from the crank. And still turning over in my head whether or not I should settle on using the 79 to 82 version of the schwingunsdampfer or hold out for the later post 82 part
