Trevor,
Do we have the same Bentley manual?

_My_ Bentley says: TURN NUT (see 50.20.16) >>Remove engine for access.<<
MOVE THIS BRACKET (see 76.16.05) >>76.16.05 says Remove engine cover
(86.20.98)To remove cover, remove seats(86.35.15), gearchange(25.28.90) and
instrument panel (76.25.90). REMOVE CABLE. REPLACE CABLE. Etc Etc...
By the time I'm halfway into an operation, I've got 20 bookmarks in the darn
manual. And, I invariably drop it at least once. <<sigh>> Seems as if they
do it that way to distribute the grease evenly across all the pages!
But don't get me wrong, I HAVE seen worse manuals (try a factory Ford manual
that covers six models sometime). <<g>>
