Well, today's repair didn't go as planned. It didn't go at all in fact. Was about to replace rear flex disc and driveshaft carrier bearing/bushing. The fact i had to have 2 wheels (or one but without having the parking brake engaged anyway) up the air made me too uncomfortable to crawl under the car even on jackstands and with front wheels secured with cinder blocks etc.
Usually i hate it but it will do the job as long as only one wheel is up in the air. I can lift the whole front end and still be ok with working under the car since parking brake will be applied to rear wheels. 2 wheels and no parking brake? No way. This is a phobia i can't get over, am i the only one?
I will pay a mechanic to do the job but i'm thinking about digging a trench in the near future. I like that idea more than a lift for the aforementioned reason.
