Re: [DML] Cap and Rotor removal/Instrument cluster power problems

["Marv Hein" <marvhein@xxxxxxxxxxx>]

Also not having replaced the cap and rotor before, and about to, am 
I reading that it CAN be done without disassembling/reassembling? 
(Painful as it may be.)

I also found an old post that says the cap is readily done from 
underneath provided your crossover pipe has been removed.  I'm 
guessing that's not an easy task either?
