It isn't that you can't screw it in yourself, it requires a "special tool" for precisly tightening it without "screwing it up!" Time frame for repair? It depends on if they have one in stock! I expect to hear this morning the prognosis and return time. Man I sure hope it isn't two months!! ted Ted Grant This is Our Work. The Legacy of Sir William Osler. http://www.islandnet.com/~tedgrant
