For once,farming out a wrench job...??

So can working on a lift with you arms above your head most of the day. That's where my bad shoulder came from.

Or being tall so you can't ever stand up straight under anything.
I got to where I would spread my feet 4 feet apart just so I didn't screw my back all up.
AND, a lot of my mechanical career life was in transmissions where you have your hands in solvents all day.
Not to mention breathing that crap all day long.[/QUOTE]

Yup. I worked a LOT in the pre-asbestos brake ban days. I was just a kid. We blew out everything with compressed air. What respirator?
