Well, despite this thread being a great laugh I hope we've all learned a valuable lesson.... Working on cars is DANGEROUS. So please, lets all remember to wear saftey glasses and keep our wits about us, one lapse in consentration could seriously injure or kill. Not what anyone wants!
P.s. I'm talking from experience here... I can only see out of one eye thanks to a rogue pair of pliers and a drum brake spring+shoe.
Back on topic... I remembered another foolish stunt we tried once.... draining the tranny as we lifted the engine out of the car.... but of course the tranny crushed the bucket instantly and leaked its entire contents all over the driveway of my mates newly rented factory... in front of the landlord... While my mate he was down at the shops! He managed to keep the lease for the factory after a short legal battle
