John Title: Re: Stupid lock nuts Post by: Harv on April 21, 2012, 08:18:40 PM The Big 'effing Hammer (BFH) method is aligned to guidance I got from a rather experienced fitter and turner many years ago:
"Dont force it... get a bigger hammer" ;D Cheers, Harv. Title: Re: Stupid lock nuts Post by: Maco on April 21, 2012, 08:54:43 PM Sure he was not a boilermaker ??? ???

Title: Re: Stupid lock nuts Post by: NES304 on April 22, 2012, 01:01:32 PM I bet if you left the car at west wallsend for the night they would be gone by morning. ;D hahahahaahahahahahahahahahahahahahah wallsend is the next suburb from here.Mate of mine grabbed a random phone and texted me as a prank saying the car on evilbay I am wrecking is stolen and was coming to look for it. I got this in a break at work and told him to piss off as I had the revs cert to clear it of everything. Then I get a text saying he'd found the car and was going to get it towed and called cops. He didn't know wife and kids home and that I'd called them and told em to lock themselves in. My wife called the cops as she was shit scared. I left work on the spot to scream home and belt this clown only to find out my neighbour was playing a prank. He wont talk to me now as he knows I have a lot of unkind words for him. So if anyone is after a VS V6 with stage 4 memcal and auto box bit tired with 330k on clock then pm an offer (Newcastle) PS its NOT stolen |
