I have had the entire thing apart 3 times, I'm pretty sure I got those
right. I 'll doublecheck anyway, the next time I work on the car.
Not knowing what should be there or how the parts should look like when
everything is like it's supposed to, makes it easy to troubleshoot it.
How do I know if I'm missing parts, if they are not there?
I hate previous owners.
