And speaking of teaching, here is my daughter helping me replace the front CV axle on the Audi. She loves getting dirty with her dad. On Sunday, she was riding her bike and asked if I could help her change the oil because the motor needs work.

Which yard are you talking about? I'm always down for finding a new one or two

Hilarious!

Actually, she wanted to wear the helmet but I insisted on the gloves.

I on the other hand have my Fbomb volume usually set to 11 and yes I've also been known to sling an open end.

Dad certainly taught me a lot, maybe 1/2 training 1/2 born with not sure, but not so much hands on help, more like watch and learn and here's a wrench I'll be over there. One of the first things I did was change only the clutch disc on my 318i in the driveway. I've installed plenty of cheap parts and now I usually try to use OEM or 'premium' if I can afford it. I don't think it matters when you start you just have to go for it. I want to be a stickler and say you should really read your car's Factory Service Manual, use a torque wrench, but honestly it is so easy today to just search your topic and find the best tutorial video and follow what the person does.
