Ya ' can appreciate the bifocal issue! wear them myself! I'd get Lasik but there can be side effects that interfere w/flying airplanes! Here's what I'm going to try - Seen those cheap borescope cameras they sell on e-bay that plug into your cell phone? I think, used w/ a little clamp or stand for the tiny camera that has lights on the camera end! we will be able to do repairs, visualize using the cell phone or a tablet! great for our old(er) eyes and arthritic reduced dexterity mobility! ( now can I have one that's 3D, please? you'd need two cameras' and software included ? ) Recently we had to R&R, change the starter in the wife's Honda civic! (I'm convinced the Honda engineers were snickering about this! " HA wait till someone has to change this !" & had a good laugh! Gawd what a nightmare ! at the back the back of the motor, under the intake manifold! no clearance, no sight lines,( most by feel ) you can't reach the bolts or disconnect the electrical plugs until you take loose the starter! oh, yeah and you have to use a 3' socket, ratchet extension and remove the RT front wheel ! the u-tube videos were lies! Made it look soooooo easy- the videos leave out vital steps and make it seem kindergarten easy. Hypnotizing, beguiling, brainwashing you into the cult of "agonizing repair nightmare" that will necessitate narcotic painkillers, jacuzzi sessions and wifely muscle massages when you're done! EASY ? NOT ! and ya' know those horrible, painful, "sure, I'm a human pretzel" body position contortions you have to get into to reach things? call it "Moto yoga"! ( and your arm will not fit because you work out? -too many muscles! don't laugh ! the local Saab god told me he doesn't work out, can't -otherwise, he can't fit his arm into places! wow, talk about sacrificing for your craft! Thank god! I may never have to do it again! So you didn't go back w/ a BCM? - maybe they cut the wires? (I've taken, borrowed parts fr my car when needed ) or I'd go w/ one of my sons (kids come in handy ! ) I do not recall, can't you disconnect the wiring after you unbolt them? seem to recall doing that. Is it 4 bolts or nuts for the seats? the seats I got used are in the hunchback back full forward lowered position too! so I need a plug w/ a few inches of wire so I can make an easy jumper -if you're going back to the breakers? (we have no 9-5 in the pick and pulls here in AZ!) regards, Neil
