I just can't do it because the nuts/bolts are too tight and even with the magical undo-ey thing I am not strong enough.

Alas.

I know I'm larger.:P

I use WD-40, and then I jump on the bastahd. It works, believe me. We had to be able to change a tire before we could drive though, so I had a reason to figure out some tricks.


Elaine's first driving lesson = dad beating basic car maintenance into my head (he also drew me a diagram of the interior of a gearbox, which is when I glazed over). Didn't work though, cos I still call him immediately like whenever anything happens to the conveyance :D It's just easier to have someone else deal with it :D
