Hi, Redjohn.<br /><br />First you buy or borrow a Service Manual.<br /><br />We can help you use one, but we can't very well be one. Without one you will almost certainly get yourself into expensive trouble sooner or later.<br /><br />Bottom of the page, click on Repair Manuals for aftermarket manuals. Ken Cook for OEM Manual.<br /><br />Good luck.
