This is a left-handed-3-finger reach, if anything. But not all the man-hours associated with pulling the center hump.
Good luck.

I worked as a mechanic for many years, and at times I think that my fingers had eyes, some of the things I've installed by mind's eye!
BoT, on that note, hose the bottom of the truck off thoroughly. Another reason I installed some parts with my eyes closed was because of the grit. Farm implements have a special kind of dust that gets everywhere. We used to steam clean tractors before we worked on them. Fuel, oil and dust make a real cement to work past.
