Why Eleanour, there are indeed a few more strings to your bow than meets the eye. I used to have a lovely little cartoon that I cut out of a British magazine years and years ago (early 80s) and it hung above my desk for years after that - it's long since disappeared. It was a very simple line drawing of a bloke sat on the ground next to a jacked up vehicle (it was a Haflinger I think) and the wheel and tyre are off, laying on the ground next to him. He's sat slumped, holding a spanner (wrench) staring at the hub assembly, with a simple line underneath: 'Look here: I am a talented and resourceful mechanic, and you are simply a hub nut. Now are you going to come off, or am I going to have to take the lump hammer to you?' LOL Sums up home auto repair beautifully ;-) Cheers, Cotty ___/\__ || (O) | People, Places, Pastiche ||=====| http://www.cottysnaps.com _____________________________
