Re: mechanic Joe...
"When I'm around tools, accidents happen!"...When I pick up a knife...I just go ahead and cut myself and get it over with. :-))
I hate paying someone to do something I know I how to do and break jobs are pretty simple these days with the four wheel disc brakes. I had initially intended on doing only the rear but when I did the shocks on the front, I saw the front brakes were in worse shape than the rear...so it turned into all four. I wasn't particularly enthralled with the thought of doing all four in a day but...get it over with and be done.
It was them big honkin tires that killed me.
