How not to spend a Saturday Afternoon

9 Sep 2006

First take 1 series 3 land rover with a leaking hub and a knackered raiko bearing
second remove wheel, then place drip tray under free wheeling hub, remove free wheeling hub, watch as ep90 drips everywhere except drip tray, next try to remove split pin, watch as split breaks in 3 peices.
third remove brake drum and back plate, forgetting to remember that leaking hub seal is behind back plate, take all bolts out, whilst taking last bolt out watch as contents of hub drip all over drive.
fourth, remove hub and raiko bush, then fit new bush, reasembly, swear and curse as new bush and pin seem 1/2 inch too long, deasemble hub again, find left packing washer in raiko bush, reasemble.
fivth, fill hub with with ep90, go drink coffee, come back out, find puddle of ep 90 under land rover, realise you forgot to put a o ring in as it's still in the box the bearing kit came in.
drain and deasemble hub.
sixth, refit hub, fill with ep90, refit and bleed brakes as bleeding brakes, hose on opposite side splits, replace both sides for safety, rebleed brakes.
seventh, refit front wheel, and give in having started job at 2pm and it's now
eighth, drive to Bubblylorraines about 4 hours later than planed. mad

How TO spend a saturday afternoon.
First - take said landy where it belongs...........to the scrappy
second - buy decent sized car
third - get to Bubbly's with enough time to take her for a spin in your sexy new motor and have to beat the adoring female fans off with a stick
You men have NO idea have you? rolleyes

Might not be like a Dave_Notts epic, but I can certainly feel the pain!!!
Been there all too often mate.
However, look on the bright side Sparky, there was no mention of a wife nagging you cos the drive is covered in oil biggrin

saturday took son and dog to colehouse fort,
go into and on old gun-emplacement
son bangs head jumping in gun slot
take him to water to go crabbing with string and bacon
i slip in, two bootfulls of muddy water

littlun thought it was seriously funny
then remember we have the dog with us
called her,..........then find she is on the moat around the fort,

Oh I do feel for you. I have had the same type of mishaps in the past as well.
I was with you all the way.........and could picture your frustration with the "spare" bits in the box.
That just cheered me up. Cheers bud :thumbup:
