"Since I was paying for my own tires on the 5-tons, and thus was concerned about tread life (which isn't spectacular anyway), I mounted them the way Michelin suggested. Cheers" Follow that advice and you are well to go. (And longer!).

Thank you for addressing that point. I am still 'Miffed' as to WHY a engineering component would not align to actual timing marks..Why the heck not Place the flipp'in marks Exactly where they are supposed to be. just my 11.7 penn'eth. Also the button was present all three and that 3 legged...

ok..what are 'chanel locks'?..I have tried 2 foot stillsons and BIG hammer and chisel..Nothing..so i just removed the whole flippin top assembly..this job is a nightmare..i will post pictures tomorrow..this is a job someone my age should NOT be doing..

Yep, that's the way I've always done it. BUT, Not on this sob!, the dome does not look 'unscrewable' and LARGE stillsons don't do it, and neither does a Large hammer and equally large chisel. The dome does not have those protrusions at the bottom that all other removable caps seem to have...
