240sx injury *blood warning*

[SloS13]

Me and my friend were both working on our 240's. He was working on his rear suspension which involved using a breaker bar to remove a bolt. Unfortunatly, the sweep of the breaker bar was lined up perfectly with the....you guessed it. Rotor brake shield. Long story short, the socket slipped and so did his hand. It was only 2 stitches though.

Nice

I removed those dust sheilds on my last car after cutting myself always cleaning inside the wheels.

[Checkered-Member]

hmm he should have kept that hand elevated instead of draining all that blood....hmm blood

[89240sx]

that's ok a guy here at work cut the tip of his finger off with a table saw over his weekend working on his house... couldn't put it back on the saw mauled it up too much..

nice battle wound. If i were to get an injury, it'd be while i was tinkering with the 240

This would be where I faint...*faints*...er...no..that's only if it's my own blood. That blows....Although, it does give me a reason to pull those dust shields off next time i do a brake job..heh...

[AZhitman]

Stitches? BAH! Spray some brake cleaner on it and wrap it in duct tape!

Lost my front tooth to a breaker bar several years ago...

[Mr1der]

wow, somebody bleeds like a stuck pig:)

we were back at it about 10 minutes after the stitches. We're hardcore dawg! You know how we roll!!!!!

Same reason why I a)wear gloves or b)use my air tools.

[C-Kwik]

I've seen worse...

I used to say, if I don't get hurt everytime I work on my car, I'm not working hard enough. Old age and experience is making me change my mind on this one though.

[Soy]

... I can't remember the last time I worked on my car and DIDN'T hurt myself somehow... from epoxying my fingers together, to burning the crap out of my arms/legs/hands/eyebrows/whatever, to adding a healthy diet of blood to the various fluids in my engine... man, if I'm not hurt by the time the job's done, it'll break again, and THEN i'll get hurt trying to fix it the second time.

i beat that felt good

[[Zero-S]]

Why don't you try slicing your finger on a dust cover and telling us how it feels;)

[mrflip69]

Pain heals... and chicks dig scars! hehehe

[marshun]

i got a bunch of little scars from workin on cars since i was little. so i got gloves now.

[[Zero-S]]

Hmm...I realized something the other day. Brake fluid+black gloves=purplish black hands. Try explaining that to your friends.

[The Mic]

what kinda gloves you got? mine dont do that. but i've had'em for so long i dont remember the brand.

[DarkStar]

You are all that is man!

[driftaholic]

two mottos come to mind:

1) Pain only means you're still alive

2) Cuts will heal, but that bolt's not comin off by itself!

[jdmfreak]

Nice cut man!

Greg do you mind sharing the story of how you lost your front tooth to a breaker bar?

[xxtrizz]

STitches!!! we dont need no stinkin stitches!

[DJoker]

Ouch..that sux.

I honestly don't know, but I DO know that the brake fluid broke down the dye in the gloves and trasferred it to my hands. Not a pretty sight (at least its almost all gone now)

[XCrunner19420]

Im a fan of deerskin gloves myself.

[jdmfreak]

How long did it take to get that stain out?

[s13EastTN]

If you let your gloves soak in warm water over night that should take care of the dye problem. My paintball gloves did that.
