Joe,
I love the ElsaWin manual, I've got to get my hands on one of those DVDs. I've tried the torrent route tonight but my skills on the interweb are not that polished.

Dave,
I'll inspect the bearings when I get in and if they're dry, I'll leave them alone. I might as well replace the water pump while I'm in there, that's an easy swap. The S8 front end removal pictures help a lot. I was trying to move things to the sides to allow the support to slide forward, I'll try rotating the entire assembly forward. Sorry about the worthless post but like I said, my camera's image went distorted, apparently there's a recall on it.
