Yeah Dave, but you've had experience, know the clearances by heart and have the proper Freebisher wrenches. Consider the poor newbie.

Don't forget to check the fluid in your alternator, that'll ruin one quicker than anything!

You can only check that with a flibberty dipstick. While you are at it, you should clean the frober sceen.

When I flew for Uncle Sam, we used to send new airmen after, "a hundred feet of flight line", or "five gallons of prop wash"...

However, we really did have whiffle-trees and snatch-blocks and let me tell you, there was some real eyebrow raising when trying to explain what they were used for..

later on, when I was assigned to a joint-services special operations group out of Brussels, I was a part of a Tactical Warfare Action Team. We changed the name when a young female captain was assigned to the group....

Don't forget to chack the halogen fluid

Hey gang - coming from Minnesota, there are always the Ole and Sven's tools that are needed to fix dang near anything mechanical.

The "awwchit" wrench is the one that rounds a perfectly square bolt.
The "disblows" brake line flush kit.
The "Yeo-dat-hurts" hammer for losening brake parts.
The "Grabda-wrongwrench" for those bolts that are under the car, in a tight spot, and the wrong size.
The "Stupid stupid stupid" stud extractor that snaps off in the stud.
The "GEEdats hot" thermal temperature probe (a.k.a. your burnt finger).
