    This is probably why the Napa I work at sells so many lug nuts!

    Those 30 year old High Scool students are merely "snugging" the valve stem caps. The book says "22 inch pounds", right JIM??? ws

    It was a brake torque and it did eat into the floor and the teacher was beyond pissed.... I said “lighten up Schmitty, you’ve never had a car this bad ass in the building before”. He wasn’t amused and I was banned and given an extra study hall hour to skip out of.

    Their standing too close to each other. They should all be working on a tire by themselves with vice grips and the biggest hammers in the shop.

    About the only thing he could be doing with those vice grips where he has them is is pulling something out that got stuck between the tire and rim

    Looks like good technique on the ratchet. Pinky out and don’t break a wrist :)

    Ok I saw this post and had a flash back to 1977. A chick from the year book club came to the automotives shop to take pictures. Had to wait to get home to find this. 20201008_145152.jpg
