Well, I was talking about the Army, Phil. If it moves, salute it, if it doesn't, paint it.Quote:

As a civilian? I don't like doing things twice, when I can do it once and do it right.
Probably shouldn't have chimed in.
I changed both sides on my '74 S3. the change must have been after that.
I will check my '78 next time I do the brakes.

No worries.Quote:

Yeah. It was 40 years ago. My son has just gone back in for some reason... The equipment has changed but the bureaucracy hasn't.Quote:

Difficult to tell but I would change the collar to be sure.Quote:
