Makes a lot of sense, glad I learned this now, not after!

Go from one point all the way around to the firewall and back again checking for stuff to hang you up.
Are there any parts that I should be careful removing or unbolting, mostly concerned with possible calibration issues afterwards. Or if that is unavoidable, just let me know. Thanks Hugger.
