was bashing away with a big steel iron bar thing, to get my drum and stud thing back into the bearing thing, and well my thumb somehow got in the firing line, and got between the two metal surfaces. Rekon the whole neighbour heard me yell blue murder for a few minutes. Called the mini a few ugly words to try and make me feel a little better :lol:

Gosh did it hurt like hell for a while!! Thumb is completly squashed!!

My dads mate lost his finger taking a wheel off a land rover.

And i usually get the gashes up your arms that make you shiver. But all is fixed by masking tape (blood isnt as good as grease to pack bearings)

Unfortunately, hammers, iron bars etc never say "I'm Sorry"

My father-in-law is a retired brake mechanic. Looking at his fingers, even after all these years, still puts you off your cornflakes.
