Sarcasm, man, sarcasm.


I'll never forget years ago watching this guy 'help' another rider adjust his chain. When tightening the axle nut, he used an 18" breaker-bar and viced it down as tight as his arm could strain (and he was a stout guy). Watching this, my buddy (a Blackhawk crewchief/mechanic) & I exchanged the look, and he asks "So what's the torque-spec on that nut, anyway?". Mr. Gorilla-arm replies: "I dunno, I just get it as tight as I can 'cause you don't want that shit coming loose!".


Edit: OK, you got it.... When I showed Kathy how to change her oil in the Accord, the bolt was so tight that I actually did have to put a long ratchet on it to break it loose - fukkin' Jiffy-Lube dolts....
