Or just call Gotham Racing or Rotary Performance since you are in Texas.

I once saw a pretty good write up with pictures that was helpful. I think this is it, but I can't seem to get the document to open. Maybe you'll have better luck.

That's the write-up I downloaded. I saved it off because I figured it wouldn't be around long. Here it is:

I guess it would have been done already if it was possible, but I wish this could be added to the stickies. It's really one of the better write-ups IMO.
