It's that bloody great chair rack hanging off the back wearing out the transmission!

I worked on that stupid stocker for 2.5 hours and had to build a special tool to release the belt tensioner. It's a good thing this 78 year old specializes in banana nut bread because she could have never afforded me otherwise. -----Original Message----- From: blindhandyman@yahoogroups.com [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] On Behalf Of Bob Kennedy Sent: Monday, December 01, 2008 4:06 PM To: blindhandyman@yahoogroups.com Subject: Re: [BlindHandyMan] antifreeze leak It's a big job, the timing belt has to come off to get to the water pump. Usually there is a sign of some sort to tell if the pump is getting ready to die. A special noise they make, or some dripping. Not likely the dealership pumped it up to 30 pounds and blew the seal around the pump shaft. Remember part of that price is that high dollar anti freeze too. ----- Original Message ----- From: "Lenny McHugh" <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> To: "handyman-blind" <blindhandyman@yahoogroups.com> Sent: Monday, December 01, 2008 5:10 PM Subject: [BlindHandyMan] antifreeze leak > Just got a ride home from the car dealership.
