So I'm pulling the guts out of the End of The Road car and all I have left is to drop the motor & tran....It's hot here mid 80's and I'm sweating and trying to remember where the kid put things when he cleaned up the garage (ok I'm using my phychic powers to try and find stuff in the garage now) and I figure I'll just loosen the trans bolts before going to hunt for one of the 4 little jacks I have when WHAM !!! PAIN !!! I guess I loosened the bots too much. Good thing I had a 4' length of pipe within reach (I used it to loosen the frozen wheel bolts) I used it to lift the muffler off my foot and pull my foot out of the runner.
I can walk on it (yes of course it hurts) and it's turning a nice variance of colours.
Full Version: How NOT how to guess the weight of a T4 and trans
pics of the ankle!!!
The car lurched forward when it dropped and the jackstand on that side ended up with about 1/8" of metal under it.....
"was it as good for you as it was for me???" 
ouch !!!!!!
gravity hurts....
ouch !!!!!!
gravity hurts....
didn't land on the ankle..landed on the fleshy part of the foot between the ball of the foot and the ankle.....if it hit the ankle I'd post pics of my new cruches and cast 
OUCH... chit......

don't know what to say...

It would have been worse if I had been wearing sandals like some people do working on cars

Could have been your HEAD, bet you won't do that again. Be careful!

Glad to see you are relatively alright Bruce.
Reminds me of the time Dylan and I were demo-ing the old back porch.
"Dad , I dont think you should cut that post right now."
He was 7 at the time. should have listened.

You will need to check you front motor mounts now. They are probably bent or broken.
Yowza Bruce! I dropped a 944 trans on my arm/shoulder at skline's once... But on the foot... arrrrgh... Lots of ibuprofen/aspirin and ice!

The bottom of the car is so rusty that the engine mounting bar bent forward so the mounts "might" be ok, but I'll check just incase.
