Home and Auto Cockamamie Hog Shit that Pisses You Off - Page 5

'Hamas' Jenkins · 01-04-2015, 03:38 PM

I had to buy a new battery, which normally isn't such a big deal. However, when I went to pop it out at the store (to avoid the core charge) the nut on the negative terminal was rounded off and I didn't have the tools to cut it off.

I get home and let it go for a few days, because I didn't feel like ****ing with it.

Just went outside and managed to get the 10mm rounded nut off with an 11/32 socket (didn't have to use the Dremel to cut it off, fortunately), but the metal strips that secure the battery down from the top are inveterate ****ing ****s, particularly the back strip, which is secured by a foot long rod with a hooked tip.

Trying to fit that mother****er into the back slot made me feel like one of those Apple slaves that launch themselves from the top of the factory into a better life. Of course, every time you try to tighten the front screw it moves the back post and nothing short of a ****ing voodoo spell was going to get that mother****er in.

That's the part that pisses me off about car repair. The job itself is never particularly difficult, but there is always one asshole mother****er of a fastener, nut, or screw the ends up taking 20 times longer than the ****ing job itself.

Am I the only one so enraged by such stupid shit?

The worst though is fertilizer. You can run a piece of machinery forever with no problems. Run 1 ****ing gallon of 10-34-0 and every bearing is froze and every bolt is rusted in.

I know all about rusty bolts. Neverseez where you can.

Yesterday I went out to drive my car to Rawhide Harley for a part, and noticed a bottle of 5w40 sitting in my passenger seat had been apparently leaking for who knows, probably a few days. Entire bottom of the seat it ruined. Probably a little less than 1/4 of the qt leaked out I suspect.
Not just a little spot. The entire area where your legs and ass would go is covered in oil.
Awesome.

I had to sawzall so many things because the bolts were seized on. PB Blaster, torch and a BFH are my best friends when working on my jeep.

I've used PB Blaster, and I don't like it. It's mostly BFH and torch. I had a millright tell me one time that if you have a frozen bolt, squirt brake fluid on it, and leave it for an hour or so and it'll be loose. I haven't tried it since he told me about it, but you bet your ass I'm going to try it.

I have also heard about mixing acetone and ATF. Probably try it next time.

PB Blaster didn't do shit to this seized up nut, FWIW. That shit has never worked for me.

Spare tires are my Waterloo. Wife has a Saturn Outlook. The ****ing spare is on a crank that lowers to the ground and then you have to angle the ****ing crank deal just right to slip off the spare. On Chiefs opening day 2013 I had to stop,on I 70 at Little Blue River after she got a rear drivers side flat. Not only was the ground shaking from the traffic, I had to get that ****ing spare off and change the tire.

It took two hours to get it done in between losing my mind as semis barreled down the interstate.

Never again. I'll tow the mf'er before I ever try that again.

I will forever cuss the asshole that took my Jeep mudding.
5 minutes of fun in the mud = a life time of shit falling in my face every time I get under it to work on anything.

I'm so bad at mechanical stuff that I can click on a thread and somehow end up on a good housekeeping site.

**TribalElder** · 01-04-2015, 08:23 PM

Did anyone here say NFL officiating?

If not put me down for some of that. And waiting in lines when other workers stand around at some places. That pisses me off something ferocious.

heard this one too..used for freeing up stuck choke cables, etc...

I bought a bettery yesterday and installed it without a hitch, almost feel bad....

I don't mess with cables or terminals when they start to deterioate... I just replace them.

Good old "witch's brew".

I get along better with Kroil but it's not near as cheap.
