Is it just me?
« on: 30 May 2008, 14:15:53 »
When you are tightening the wheel bolts after doing a job/changing for a spare.........does that final little nip up at the end make you bottom go "peep" ?

Have you got the problem my Granny has as well.  Her bottom makes noises as she walks, faster she walks, the quicker the noise.  (bless her)

Don't knock the f@rt method. Highly accurate. Most bolts neet one. Cylinder head bolts need a couple for good measure.






Oh, and crank pulley bolts on an MX-5 need a full follow-through.  :o :-X

I decline to comment for fear of repurcussions.

There were "air quality" issues at Shifnal too. Couldn't be anything to do with the number of bolts holding the autobox sumps on, could it? :-X
