Haha, Sorry, went right over my head. Many times I forget that there are people out there that just don't know about this stuff. Same as many times my wife will ask me to explain the simplest things on the computer and I'm like "huh? That's so simple." For the folks that don't know how to replace their own parts, then my advice would be to take it to a pro from the start and that way they warranty the parts and labor.

Sorry, maybe I just have had bad experiences at AutoZone. Dont get me started on the employes from there. THe only things I get from there now is car wash and electrial connectors.
