I guess you never read his article on restoring convertible tops. He removed
that one too. By your
reasoning (Opps "little innuendoes") he must have been worried about that one
as well.

I can assure you I learned a long time ago not to believe everything I read on
the internet. Last I
knew this list is part of the Internet. But your "little innuendoes" and other
brushes with
Randellian omniscience that you treat us to on this list serve as a constant
reminder of the reasons
not to do so.
BTW, there's lots of folks on this list who have followed Nelson's directions
on splitting brake
calipers w/o ill affect. If it's so dangerous, kind'a makes you wonder why Moss
and TRF carry the
parts to do it. As far as I can see, neither Bentley nor Haynes say anything
one way or the other
about splitting the calipers. Again, if it's so dangerous, why they didn't post
warnings not to do
it. Sounds like maybe you should follow your own advice and trying thinking on
your own, instead of
being spoon fed by whom ever wrote whichever manual it was -- Can't handle it?
