Re: My Pet Peeve.. Short Rant

When I worked as a mechanic, I could pull the AC out of the way for engine R&R without even discharging the system. I guess a lot of guys don't care about not costing the customer extra money, or maybe they just don't know any better. It doesn't even require knowing how to fix it to move it out of the way for the other work!

Back in the '70s I was asked to go and troubleshoot a brake problem in the field. The "mechanic" was replacing a steel brake line using vacuum line with clamps, and couldn't figure out why the hose blew off when he stepped on the brake pedal. I kid you not.
