One day in a far far away land. Southern Michigan. In a hurry I install front left break pads on backwards. Shoe side out. Brain fart. Makes a nasty noise.
"If I can do something stupid, YOU can do something stupid." New tagline?
My buddy has a 2012 Silverado 4×4. We were doing the brakes the front went fine, the back turned into a nightmare, couldn't get those Allen bolts out, I bent and broke 2 Allen wrenches ( big ones). I told him let's cut them off, so I could get a better bite, he didn't want to. So he took it to a brake shop, guess what they did, yup, they cut them apart, and put on new calipers and brackets.
Not a stupid video
everybody has to start somewhere, at least he tried!
I remember when I was 16 and the farmer next to our farm needed help changing his newly bought used 4 bottom plow with new points. He could not get the bolts broke loose. I broke them in half being almost rusted into already into. When he brought out the new plow points and bolts the threads did not look right and the nuts would not thread on in the right direction. First time I ever saw left handed threads on a bolt. That was the reason we could not get the old bolts to unthread. Always remembered that learning lesson. I made a good living working on equipment and was able to retire at 58 because all I learned growing up on a farm. I also learned that trying to make a living on 120 acres was not going to make it for a good life with beans going for $6 a bushel.
This is a wonderful video, thank you for posting it. I too have made plenty of mistakes. Ooodles and oodles of them. I understand how it was for your customer and I feel for him. Luckily, he won in the end: he brought the truck to you for a proper repair.
When you said hear the beat on a I thought about the locking screw write-off I work for Midas about 15 years and you wouldn't believe the home mechanics that screw up thing well then I guess you would you got to have a good laugh about it sometimes as soon as you said he had to beat on him and he couldn't get them off I knew exactly what was😂
Hilarious commentary, thank you.🤣
Brake pads on backwards once, 15th car of the day, super tired.
