Forgot something yesterday
by brian @ 11:46:33 - [perma-link]I tried out the "Intervalometer" on my Canon G3, taking one shot every
minute while doing a quick "repair" on the rally car. I had to
tighten the two bottom strut bolts that I forgot about yesterday when
I changed the top strut mounts (I got two new ones to replace the ones
that were welded up at Doo Wops). I messed up the big rule: always
tighten the bolt/nut/screw when you put it back on or else you might
forget, which I did. Fortunately I hadn't driven the car at all, and when I was falling
asleep last night it occurred to me that I hadn't tightened those two
bolts. It was a quick repair. I loosened the lug nuts, jacked up the
corner, spun off the nuts, then removed the wheel. I used my impact
gun to crank down the strut bolts, then put the wheel back on and
torqued the nuts to 80 lb-ft. Six minutes of work (not counting the real work yesterday) and its all
set to drive around town.
