I had a '79 Capris RS that I did the rear brakes on and put the adjusters in backwards. It took me a couple of passes in front of the house to figure it out. "Honey, why are the wheels smoking?", she said...
So much for drinking copious amounts of beer and working on my car! I don't drink much anymore and haven't done brakes on both sides of an axle since then! Better to leave one side together as a pattern for the other one.
Thanks for being human!

Consider yourself lucky, when my wife sees wrenches flying across the garage, she takes the kids and goes shopping.... This way she doesn't remember anything. I sure do when the credit card bill comes in the mail. I must say, though, her method has been beneficial in altering my anger management while working on the truck.

My wife doesn't like my garage so she stays out for the most part. She don't see all the foul ups. Guess I'm lucky. She has enough other things to tell about me to keep most of the people on the block laughing. Until they need something done on there houses then they call me. .............RUSTY
