Default Re: Dropped it!

As long as the car rested on the hub I think you'll be alright tbh

the other week, me and a friend lifted a 1.8 cvh engine from a ford sierra - using a scaffolding bar across the width of the engine bay and the seatbelts as engine straps.... only problem was that kev has about 12-18 inches of scaffolding bar over his shoulder - I had about 5 inches on mine = when we lifted it, the bar slipped onto my collar bone..

Possibly one of the worst sensations in the world on the flipside, I knee'd kev in the head while he was bending down to look at the steering rack. Then he got me back by dropping the gearbox on my hand. If I hadn't been wearing my ring I think I may have broken/lost a finger. Later on he smacked his head on the corner of the bonnet.

We're now known as laurel and hardy by my neighbours
