OUR back plate has an "I" indent very easy to see and an "E" indent very easy to see (THEY ARE ARE MARKED ON THE BACKPLATE AT APPROXIMATELY 10 MINUTES OF 12 AND 10 MINUTES AFTER 12 ON THE OTHER) SO MY QUESTION IS:
on the left side do i line the i on my wheel to the i on the back plate and on the left side the e on my wheel to the e on the back plate(EVENTHOUGH THAT IS CLEARLY NOT 12'O CLOCK)
also...i see white paint or something white dot mark on the "S" AS WELL as another replyer did----WHAT DOES THAT MEAN?
someone please help and soon cause my car is torn apart and im exhausted over it all ready. thank you all in advance
Hey I think you and my husband had the same nightmare. He is asking the exact same questions. My only real concern is that he is suppose to be fixing the water pump??!!
