Sometimes the wife is right.....SOMEtimes.

[Richard Davis]

Last Fall I was losing the battle of trying to fit my new filler tube into my new fuel tank. I texted a lady I was dating to vent. It was part of the conditioning process if she wants to pursue a relationship with a part time gear head. She texted back and asked if the parts were aftermarket. I texted back with the word "genius". I took out my calipers and checked the OD of the new filler tube and compared it to the original. The new one was too big. This was my first adventure with aftermarket restoration parts. She knows nothing about cars, but her question led to the solution.

Excellent perspective Greg!
sometimes I spend too much time looking for people smarter than me on a topic.
last year while changing the brake booster I was complaining that I had back problems trying to lay underneath the driver side to get to the bolts, my wife walks up and says why don’t you take the front seat out, then you can lay on your back and put your feet on the backseat.
4 seat bolts later I was comfortable

You then did not suggest her hands were smaller then your and could put the nuts on easier?

Think you miss the point. Happy wife happy life doesn't mean kiss her ***.

Totally agree, am happy as long as she do all she want to do without me, but as soon she needs/want my help am always for her, no matter what, same for her if am fixing a car with greasy hands and BO, she's fine, all my mess in the spaces for that mess she's also fine, we are comfortable with each other whenever she needs me am there same for me, we agree that if we saw each other all time will be divorced a long time ago time and space is what we give to each other and work for us.

Relationships are give and take, can't be all give and can't be all take.

Relationships/True Love are/is base on trust/respect, period...

nothing else, no more no less

all the other stuff ^^^^^ is just nonsense
talking points, peripheral BS, made up woke crap

Some people ^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^ are just blinded by their own self serving agenda, they maintain relationships only when it suites them.
As long as they get their own way, what they want all is well.
Consumed bitter lonely people who need to hate
As hard as it is I have to pray for them that they find peace and happiness

This is the way to go.
There is a trick.
If your system is dry, has air or trash in it you help that along with a quick push of the peddle and a slow upward release.
Do that a couple of times if necessary.
It will move the air or trash on out quickly.
