What's going on here is anybody's guess....

He's probaly more interested in screwing rather than nutting.  Cheers, Bill in Oz

"It states "Use a wrench". I suppose this is what they mean."
From cars I have acquired the mechanics who accessed the drain plugs read that same book. In some cases I had no practicable option but to follow their example. I have a wrench older than the one illustrated. (I hardly dare concede but the large brass bush in front of torque tube, for which noone posses a C spanner, often respnds with less damage tp a pipe wrench than to drifting.)

"Sorry darling. I'm afraid I have less of a clue about what goes where on a girlie than I do about what goes where on this engine."

[Andy Bennett]

Grip it tighter Jeremy or it will slip through your fingers.
But Cynthia, mummy taught me how to hold a knife and fork and I can't find it in my heart to do it any other way.

"That's it babe, you look coy, he looks haughty, click, it's a wrap"

The originality monitor writes, I have some doubts about the front cover of the booklet, which may or may not have originally been “ Bolts and Efficiency.” No ooh matron contributions yet this morning. Is everyone hiding indoors rather than put on oilskins and sou’wester just to get to the workshop?
