    From Snag@21:1/5 to All on Sun May 15 12:58:17 2022
    I helped a neighbor today , replacing the upper ball joint and
    a-frame bushings on his '05 Chevy truck . Too bad I didn't realize that
    spacer sleeve was too short ... and I bent the threaded part of the
    tapered shaft of the new ball joint right at the cotter key hole . I
    wondered why it was being so obstinate , didn't want to go in straight
    and took a lot more force than I thought it should . I don't think this
    model of HF press was meant to have a 20 ton jack ... Tim Taylor got
    nothin' on me ! Har-har-har , More Power !

    Yup , not only did I think it , I expressed it loudly and repeatedly
    . This guy lives down the road (we share a property line) and he's the
    best neighbor I've ever had . We trade metal stock , help each other
    when we can , and he always has a cold beer in the cooler . What we did
    this morning probably saved him a couple hundred bucks in shop time ,
    and what the hell , I'm retired and have the tools and time ...
