Picture My biggest red flag? 🚩 🚩 🚩
Oh, easy—I see something broken and immediately decide I got this. I convince myself it’ll be a quick fix. Maybe an hour tops, two if I’m feeling dramatic. Fast forward 2-3 weeks… the project’s still half done, I’ve had zero free time and many work and family health things come up to finish it, and somewhere along the way I managed to break another part just trying to fix the leaking axles seals.
Naturally, I’ve now spent $100+ on tools I didn’t own (and definitely didn’t need but made the job much easier), $120 on parts I broke in the process(air locker sleeve), and YouTube has convinced me I’m a professional despite all evidence to the contrary.
But hey, at least I “saved money” by not taking it to a shop… right?
