I need help again with my 1959 Apache pickup!

[Renee]

Guys, I need help again! What truck repair (to my 1959 Apache pickup) would need 2 guys to complete? I am writing a scene where my older character Eddie is mentoring a younger man while they work on the truck. Any suggestions?

there are a lot of things you can do by your self. but if he is teaching something there would be a reason for the help. Bleeding brakes is easier with two people.

Thank you!
that sure does seem like a two person job.

What is involved with "bleeding the brakes'?

[Renee]

I googled it and found some "how to's"

Bleeding brakes is a great example. It's actually one of the more difficult jobs to do alone.

Clutch replacement is another one. Plenty of folks have stories of starting a clutch replacement as a youngster with a quote from an elder such as "Well, you burned it out so you get to fix it."

Just out of curiousity, what decade would this be happening in, roughly?

[Renee]

It's contemporary, 2015.

Is replacing a clutch something you would do in a day?

[Advanced Design]

Yes, clutch replacement would be done in a day.

And a repair doesn't need to be a two person job to have two people working on it. For example, maybe they are rebuilding the carburetor with the mentor doing the teaching / supervising of the rebuild and adjustments.

Thank you all so much!
