While I love seeing the wild various things on YouTube...I've of late been hugely put off by the extreme vitriol that the venue can be used by hateful folks. Sigh.
But recently, I was informed that my rear tail light was out. Glad to hear it...since I don't want to have a pint out and get pulled over for something silly like this. My local mechanic quoted $175.00US to change it out for me as he informed me due to the Machiavellian nature of how they design the way to get to these things. Fook that. Being somewhat handy, I looked with a close eye at the area, and found that I could probably do it myself (of course it's roughly 22 degrees out while I'm doing this..)
After using the requisite tools, I hit a snag...I can loosen the area, but the whole light mechanism will NOT come free. Goddammit I will not yank at it and break some tiny piece of plastic that will inevitably cost me and additional mint to replace. Damn I'm cold...so a quick jump into the house to warm up, and decide that I'd do a quick search. Lo, and behold, some guy has already done this, and it was as simple as pulling in one direction to get things free. It works! 4 minutes to the Auto shop, and the replacement was done! Pull an unfortunate twin girl to confirm, and I'm feeling like a world beater.
Happy ending.
Now if we can just kick some of those commenters off the planet.
