Hmmm, I did read it correctly (see attached) and I think I will follow the service bulletins for the correct method!!

I have had several issues with the way Les goes about things. Like everything, you must take it with a grain of salt. With Les's method, there is even more room for error than you mentioned due to him wanting you to make chalk marks by hand. Doesn't seem very accurate to me!!!

Thanks for the correct link Marco!
