Okay ... good point about the impact gun - that was effective
I'm storing the car in small town Ontario and looking to get the certification done so I can immediately plate it - I don't live near the car right now - hence the priority is timing, but not at the cost of risking something really aggravating happening to the vehicle. There are no German mechanics around (which is odd since they have a German hall!) ... I'll have to reassess.
Thanks!
