Admittedly I have tried this on only one vehicle ('91 GL), but I
believe that the picture in the Bentley is wishful thinking.  Maybe it
worked when the vans were just off the assembly line.  Have you
actually done it?
   After the usual ordinary and extraordinary measures I have only
moved it a small amount.
I believe that I have seen posts by other list members reporting the
same problem.
