Home mechanic war stories	Thu, 27 June 2002 12:11

When working on cars, things don't often go as planned. I want to hear everyone's war stories (there must be a ton of them) about things that have gone wrong whilst working on the car. One of my stories involves pressing out an old rubber bush out of the control arm. I was using a bolt and a spacer with a few washers to try and press the thing out. The bush was hardly budging. I kept turning the nut tighter and tighter and not much was happening. Anyway I kept going and then BANG the bolt snapped and went flying past my face, narrowly missing my eye and impaled itself a couple of metres away into the garage wall. All I could say was faarrrkkk. In the end I had to hack the bush up into lots of little pieces and use a wire brush to get rid of the bits of rubber still stuck to the control arm. I use much stronger bolts now when pressing out things. [Report message to a moderator]
