Bastard!  lol: lol: lol:

I hadn't even got the torque wrench on it (although that was the object of the exercise).... It must have just been fucked (to use a technical term), it was an original part of the car so 40 year old now...  noooo:

Hopefully, I'll be in better condition when I reach 40...  whistle:

I wish I could....

For some reason, I dreaded this job from Day #1...  noooo:

So frustrating that it is on the critical path - this then the windows, then the seats... then I can drive it (doors later)....
