Powerdubs i think i know what you mean and appreciate your comment, it is not my thread so i am going to be careful and i also share your sentiment about workshops ( the one and only job of a new rear tyre for my cb550 was done by the Honda dealer and resulted in a flat tyre because they had pinched the side of the inner tyre and the wheel was excentric because of some un-removed rust on the rim, extra cost; $240.- so yes, exept for some proven mechanics ), he was offered very good help but did not feel it necessary to ask.
Dave does work on stuff i don't even try, he is also very careful and plans ahead, he is also very honest and his questions made us all learn more than we would have otherwise done, including me.
And what he has accomplished has only been done by very few owners, it was a first for him and therefore i have quite a bit of respect for him, i did manage to get the coupling off and can say that it was a relief when it came undone, it is awkward.
There is always someone who can do better no matter what the task, in dave's case he did get the job done under his own restrictions, see how you get on after weeks of 13 hour workdays etc.
So i would cut him a fair bit of slack instead.
