Then you see the downside of living alone.
Oh yeah... umm I see now:
Me: "honey can you come out to the garage and help me a second?
Wife: Sure!
Wife: wait am I gonna get dirty doing this? I just had my nails done, will I break a nail.
Me: No, you have the easy part, I just cant do both.
Me: Ok I am going to be under the engine block lining it up with bell housing, I want you to pull on the chain to release it.. then when I get it in position, you re-lock it in place by flipping this lever.. got it?
Wife: ok
Me: ok, pull it just enough to release it.
Wife: OK like that?
Wife: oh.. wait I have to go stir the beans, or they will burn.... poof.
CRUNCH
But yeah.. I am a wimpy patient... wives are the best nurses!
