I learned trany fluid is the worst smelling thing in the world.
And on the jacking the car up...I still hate that part the most, everything else is getting easy, just something about the left wall being so close to the car. From the pic looks like you got up pretty far. I use carpet pad to roll around on, beat the cold hard concrete. The roller is too high sometime.
Oh and I stare at walls sometimes too when working on the car. Thinking time is always good.  |
Its pretty cold in jersey now i had a heater for three minutes and it through my braker off, so no heater for the garage, and I used that card board in the pic to role around. And as far as the height it may look high but i could not role over under the car and Im a thin guy. Also to get to the spark plugs I had to bend my back quite a bit while siting with my legs crossed. If it only would have been a few inches higher I would have been much more comfortable. So recommendation of the day raise that car high even though its drastically scary.
