working on cars injury thread, NWS and not for the easily grossed out Options

Pretty simple, when have you worked on your car or someone else's and injured urself
post pics if you took any

il start off
once i was trying to replace a bent lower control arm and i was using a big hollow pipe for extra leverage when the pipe sliped off my socket wrench and nailed myself right in the head with the pipe knocking myself out.

another time i was changing brake pads all was sweet untill for some unknown reason i decided to spin the disk and got my thumb caught between the disk and caliper, my immediate reaction was to just yank it out causing me to rip pretty much all the skin off the top of my thumb. blood went flying onto the guard, bonnet, wind screen, roof and even a few drops of blood went on the fence. My dad being the loving and caring father that he is all he said/did was "hope that hurt for all the times i work on your car and get hurt and you laugh at me"

aha fuck where to begin.

last week seth was helping me put the bolts in on my rear bumper support. i was holding the wrench on the nuts underneath by the frame rail. it slipped and pinched my finger in between the edge of some sheet metal and the wrench. he kept tightening because he didnt know so it kept digging in. man that shit hurt.

I've punched myself in the nose way more times than I would have liked. Sliced my arms/hands/fingers open plenty of times.

I was trying to take off a front hub on my S13, had my hand/wrench positioned weird and hand slipped off, I punched part of the FLCA and then the concrete floor.

cant remember if this was putting on or taking off my stock exhaust
its not much, washed it off with some methylated spirits and then super glued the opening close (it was either super glue or electrical tape and i found the glue first)



forgot to mention the time i was trying to take off my diff i was in a weird position under the car and all of a sudden i pulled my back, i could not move in massive pain and no one was home to help me out from under the car. stayed under the car lying down on the concrete for 30mins befor i wriggled myself out

I dropped an S13 trans on my head. That hurt.

[Ivan the Terribl...]

i dropped my lsd on my foot. that's about it. i may have scraped some knuckles, but nothing bad. my friend has 6 scars on his right hand all from helping me work on my cars though hahahaha

Friend david dropped an s13 diff on my hand, and recently he dropped a s13 trans on my head, that shit hurt, defiantly began to bleed.

I'm trying to find a pic, but a buddy of mine grounded out a wrench on his motor while he was tightening up the alternator wires. He managed to get 2nd degree burns on his wrist cause of the watch he was wearing.
