Re: What did you screw up today?

Well,
The latest screw up or mine involved me thinking that I had to change the stock rear end cover bolts out with stainless steel ones. I had just gotten the whole rear end rebuilt,( posi, gears, all brakes and all hardware, not to mention all of the powder coating) of the entire thing. Well as I was tightening down the third stainless steel bolt the head snapped off. I center punched the broken SS bolt went to drill it out and attempt to use an easy-out on it. The bit would just follow one side of the broken hope no matter how much I tried to keep it centered. In the end I had a friend help me clean up the hole that I had made and retap it.
Boy I felt soooooo defeated. After all of the major rebuild going well and to have the very minor part kick my read end!!!( LOL, no pun intended)
