Ah so it's not just me? That screwdriver trick I've heard of happening before. Not tight enough? Just puncture it to get more leverage! Goodness.

I'm actually looking forward to taking up the maintenance and repair of the older vehicle we've "downgraded" to. There's a loss of the sense of accomplishment when delegating work out that one can do oneself.

Sure if there's something that I require special tools or skills for, I can get that performed elsewhere on a case by case basis but for everything else...

I was on a buzz for days after fixing the squealing issue. You can't buy the high of having more control over your own environment.

Thanks for the comment!
