I just read Scott Paisley's story about his crushed foot. OUCH!
And I'm sure we can all tell a tale of something we've done (or
was done to us). But here's some rules I try to use when I
working on my LBC:
1. Review the procedure you'll be attempting - Know any safety
hazards before you start and have safety equipment on hand.
2. No matter how simple of a task you'll be performing, let someone
else know that you'll be working on your car. Perferably someone
there in the garage/house with you.
3. Don't let kids/dogs/cats/etc hand around.
4. Keep that cordless phone handy (like even in a holster if it's
convenient).
These are just a few things that tend to pop in my mind when I plan
on or just get started on doing something to my B. And if you're
not concerned about your personal safety, then think about the safety
of your car. (burned up carbs/engines, cracked rotors from the car
falling off the jack stands....).
Anybody else have anything to add?
thanks, Rick Hoffman
