Wooohoooo ... Just got my first busted lip from a wrench falling on my face ... OUCH!!!

Those moments realy do suck bigtime.. two other places to get busted up pretty good is rolling over under the car on low jackstands and hitting the transmissionmount with your nose yep bigtime nosebleed. second place is slipping with the wrench when breaking lose the converterbolts,that can also create severe nosebleed.

and no i dont have a huge nose.i also dont get nosebleeds easy,that nose has taken more punches than i care to count without getting nosebleeds but these moments got me bad.

if your car is like with manual everything and no a/c .....i can get the engine out in 24 minutes after the radiator is drained .....i have timed it before

and thats with clean non rusty exhaust flange bolts.....those can kill the time if they get stuck.

whats your secret to get to the transmission bolts? i can use that kind of time only to get two of those bolts out,my arms and hands just dont fit in very well betwen the firewall and the rear of the block:( im seriously thinking about putting a holesaw to good use on the firewall to be able to get those bolts out from inside the car..
