Agree, the spark plug seals are more important than the half moons, also only need about half that much RTV, or less. The PCV/grommet, not so much, it can be replaced anytime, with the cover on. After doing a bunch of there can just about predict where the parts/tools are going to fall. Got...

There is a painting forum here, likely has posts about filling, sanding out chips and repainting? https://forum.ih8mud.com/forums/paint-and-body.131/ The power sanding tool of choice would be a DA sander, or hand sand. Repair strategies include; sanding each chip out or filling them, high...

Dry spindle bushing, is the grease level correct, ~1/2 full?

Knowing where the power is interrupted is helpful. With the key to run, is there battery ish voltage at the B+ term in the diagnostic box on the firewall? If not, is there power at both sides of the EFI fuse? There are little contacts on top of the fuse for testing. If none at the fuse, wiggle...

Pulls out from the transfer end. I wouldn't use that tool, can't tell how much is being added and don't want any of it in the speedo head.
