Yup, the plate is removed, and I can see the o-ring at the end. However,
there's a shaft that goes through the o-ring into the threaded shaft the
adjuster wheel turns on. I can pull it out so far, and that's it. I
obviously have to disassemble something else... Can anyone describe what to
do, or have a pic from a parts book? As I said before, this is different
than what's in the shop manual for '57-'58, and the '59 supplement doesn't
have anything...
Thanks
