Mike, you need to try the stunt I watched one somewhat lazy acquaintance
pull on the crankshaft nut. Since he didn't want to go to the trouble of
fabbing a tool to keep the engine from turning while he yanked, he used
some ****ms to jam the wrench onto the nut then hit the starter. Of course
it couldn't start with that wrench there... but the engine fired and you
never saw such a mess with that long wrench flailing away under the hood.
Darwin would have been proud of this guy - but I've seen some serious
cheater pipes used on that nut!
