ugh! one of the worst decisions in my life: buy a band clamp exhaust. Why? Cause I have ****ty tools. I ripped my damn knuckle open trying to fix a band clamp. It was grousome. Blood went on my face. I did the AIIIHHHHHH sound like i was dieing. I got a laceration, 4 stitches. double u TEE EFF!

 

I thought you said band camp


That will suck when you polish your ****

Seriously though, glad its not worse. Tomorrow will be better

 

thank god its in the left hand. its on the joint in the finger, not the knuckle. it was damn bloody. never seen blood pool up like that. im just going to take it to an exhaust shop and get it welded. **** band clamps.

haaha good thread. sucks about the knuckle though.

 

Yes.. band clamps suck... I had to get my Borla welded. Take it to a good place or you'll be like me.. I'm having all of the pipes replaced becuase the first guy that welded it did a very sh!tty job...

 

+10

hope the knuckle heals up soon

 

I had the same problem working taking my rims off my other car for the winter. I was using a crappy bit on my lugs, got stuck on the lug and tried to twist it off with my bare hands. I didn't notice because it was dark and cold that the bit was split because of the force and I sliced my hand real good. Blood everywhere, bloody snow and everything.

Whenever you work on anything, no matter how careful you are. Things happen, once the pain goes away, you'll forget all about it.

 

hahaha

 

And then this one time at Band Clamp...Glad you're okay

 

LOL. Yes im getting it welded shut by Mufflex. I have to figure out how im gonna do this cause i need to install the sway bars i ordered first! :\

 

She is so hot.

 

pics of said injured knuckle?

 

Mechanic Gloves FTW!

 

plumpzz... you would do jimmy proud haha...does that mean i can take this sunday shift? any any of your upcoming ones? =D

 

This is just part of being a man.

 

yup. walk it off

 

Stuff like that sucks dude. Earlier this year when removing the exhaust on my WRX I slid my hand along the flashing around the cat....sliced my index finger wide open right over the joint with my hand. Right down to the bone and I nicked a tendon. 6 months ago and that hand is about 85%. I'm just glad I can use my hand now.
Stupid me is back out doing exhaust stuff after I swore not to but at least now I bought some mechanix gloves. Didn't help much when I was laying under the Z and droped the exhaust on my face.... split my head open above my left eye. Gave me a nice pirate looking scar....haha

I swear I'm fricken dumb to be working on cars still. I gotta start paying to have this stuff done.

 

back off mike lol.
No you may not.

I ordered sway bars. Lets see how that install goes. They used a glue stich on me and its already wearing off lol.

 

Try removing the grey headlight bulb cover for the main/high beam. I ripped open my finger try to turn it loose. Blood dripping al over the place...

I must say Nissan did a good job putting bolts in almost unreachable places as well.
