You only needed a wrench cause your belts were probably too tight

 

Fucking quality work man. 12Ga is a beefy sign! Hopefully he secures it to the wall well, otherwise it might turn into a guillotine

 

I hate little torque values. These water pump bolts ask for 6.5 ft lbs but the wrench only goes down to 8. Even that feels like not enough torque lol

 

Tighten until loose

 

then back off a quarter turn

 

Makes things more fun!

 

Time for shock relocation.

 

Worst case I sell him the 16 gauge on my wall (textured paint) and keep the one I cut today.

His choice.

 

@Abeyancer

Found old pics of the 4R, only used a wrench and nothing more

 

Little dude actually crawled forward a bit; he kicks his legs hard

 

Who are you, so wise in the way of science

 

Damn, I'm so glad that didn't happen to me when I was torquing all my suspension stuff last weekend. For sure it felt like those were going to break lol

 

CA makes everything easier

 

Yeah never fun. I got lucky and was able to back it out without too much headache, still, rather avoid that.

 

Knock on wood but I've been so lucky with the hardware corrosion on this truck. In 3+ yrs of doing the complete rebuild, I've only broken 1 bolt and it was a bracket bolt holding one of the vacuum solenoids to the wheel well. Did that in the beginning when I rebuilt the engine and the zip tie repair is still going strong lol

 

Whoever built this house must have assumed anyone going up into the attic was going to have to stand up at their own risk, almost gave myself a lobotomy

 

Throw a humidifier in there and you've got a personal sauna

wut.

It was on sale for 2.99

 

Scrape it off, put it in a bag and sell to your local crackhead.

 

Looks like time for a tetanus shot
