Just a tip
« on: July 04, 2012, 09:14:44 AM »
I bought the MC replacement kit and after 2-3 days of making tools, swearing, battling the heat and C clip, I gave up.  Then I showed it to my wife.  15 minutes later, my MC is rebuilt.

You're not the first person this has happened to.  Once upon a time my neighbor and I spent almost an hour banging on the driveshaft on his late 60's Chevy truck trying to get the yoke off only to have my wife come, look over our shoulders for a moment, and then say "Aren't you going to take that bolt off?"

'Then' and 'than' are completely different words and have completely different meanings. Same with 'of' and 'have'. Set and sit. There, their and they're. Draw and drawer. Could care less/couldn't care less. Bought/brought FFS.

YES!  If you can talk her into it.

Why beat yourself up?

When I first glanced over the topic title, I thought it said "Just the tip."
