Thanks Jerry, for the word of advice.  I hadn't seen that reference in my
Haynes - probably because I was looking for more complicated and expensive
stuff first.  :)  I should know better by now - always check the simple
stuff first to rule it out.  I'm going to reread that section and take a
look at those pads tomorrow.

Again, thanks very much.  Helpful people like yourself is what makes this
such a great place to be - especially for beginning parts changers like
myself.  :)
