OK, I'll start. I don't expect that this thread will catch on because, after all, we are men (most of us) and we don't need instructions nor ask directions, right? DD's admission to using the wrong screw on the interior door handle made me realize there may be place for FU's like this and that it could be used in a preventative manner. (IMG:style_emoticons/default/dry.gif)
I can't remember all my FU's (and there have been many) but this one is fresh in my mind as it happened yesterday. After bragging about my new shop press I must point out that it only works as well as the idiot operating it. After re-installing my trailing arms I noticed a very noticeable amount of slop in the hub as I put the wheel back on. I pulled the arm off and found that I had not placed a back up behind the bearing, rather the bearing receiver, when pressing in the hub. As a result the bearing separated appx 1-2mm. Placed it back on the press with the proper back up and 2 seconds later is was properly pressed in. I've come to the sad realization that you can't fix stupid. (IMG:style_emoticons/default/sad.gif) |

The other day I was adjusting my points. Quick gap change, dust cover, distributor cap back on, car won't start... great.
Re-adjust them to the same gap as before. Put it all back together and car still won't start. It was at that time I noticed the rotor sitting on the trunk. |
