| Subject: | Re: Need spark plug wrench for # 6 cylinder |
"Spanner for spark plug of cylinder no.6" is shown in my version of the
IPBs on page 122 of book #3, figure 2-7.
On the web site CJ6.org it is shown in book #3, but on page 126, which
means that there are at lease two maybe 3 different iterations of the CJ6
parts books out there.
We think we have the bugs worked out of the downloads on the site now,
others report success in downloading the manuals.
