Bent!!!

[Rich_P]

Yes, it is BENT! :rolleyes:

[TheGurkha]

yikes :eek:

[Rich_P]

Aye, that's what happens I guess at times... somehow. It was a ****** to get out of the dumbiron so I could remove the bumper.

[TheGurkha]

I bet it was!

That's an activity with a high-kuckle-skinning potential too.

[Rich_P]

Yes, have bashed myself once or twice, along with my dad also doing the same when he had a go. :rolleyes:

[jjsaul]

to remove bolts from bumper, use socket with some form of extension bar on handle. therefore keeping hands away from metal bits. and yes i learnt that the hard way as well :rolleyes:

[Cocky Lil Guy]

To remove bolts from bumper go out and buy an air compressor and buzz gun with single hex socket set, result undone bolts, free bumper, and knucles with skin :p

Tried, lacks the torque... well, the one we have.

James, I also did you an extension bar. But the grill was what I hit against.

Hell, I thought that the whole reason for DIY mechanics was to remove skin from your knuckles? That's why I had Minis!

[Cocky Lil Guy]

Well when people pay £52 pound per hour labour for a Defender 90, then i think they deserve the job to be done quickly, so we can't play around with little spanners!

Looks like you need a better buzz gun :p

Thanks James for pointing that out...glad someone did!!

[Pete H]

Thanks James for pointing that out...glad someone did!!

Yea,but you would still do it yourself,professional,or amature,would you not?

[jjsaul]

the crucial bit was the word just

[Cocky Lil Guy]

I think the thing is that fact people think that DIY mechanics doo all the work themselves, on there driveway, where as now i am an apprentice then i do it professionally meaning i get paid to do it so its not just a hobby!

At least you get paid to do it, but then again, do you get paid if you do it to your own vehicle? :p

[Ye110w]

No, see, you are a proper mechanic, with a compressor, buzz gun and knuckles intact... I am a DIY mechanic with bloody spanners, bloody knuckles and bloody nuts!

You forgot the long wait, and the short stand, neither of which should be used when you are supposed to be learning to sweep the workshop floor! ;)

[Millsy]
