    Did you know "Taco Cat" spelled backwards is "Taco Cat" ???

    Did you know "Race car" spelled backwards is "Race car" ???

    palindromes.


    Well Acteon liberated my 223 Tula ammo from that can...... a grinder was the answer...

    Loading magazines......

    Yup, farted around with a screwdriver and hammer for about an hour.
    Cutting wheel on a grinder, 5 minutes.
    Just gotta be careful about catching cardboard on fire.



    Did you know of you hold your nose and say "apple" it actually sounds like you're saying orange.

    Did you know if you hold your nose and say "idiot" my boss appears.

    Jedi's spare tire is still stuck though.
    I've figured out why.
    Just not sure how to fix it.
    I took some pics. I'll have to ask for help in a thread. Maybe someone will have an answer.
    It was not rusted.

    Ok.
    Left of bottom of cable.
    Look like silver metal is out past hole, preventing it from going down hole.
    Tried wrench, but it wouldnt fit up there.
    But it looks like maybe a wrench on the parts BELOW that may bring it IN.
    Anyone familiar?

    I'm waiting on jedi to tell me what model minivan.
    The spare is under front seats.

    Is that tab/finger thingy a "safety" of sorts? Looks like you could take up the slack and then apply pressure to keep it vertical while you lowered it...???

    Also, it looks like the part that the center of the wheel gets supported by is not on properly...one of the ears looks like it is off the wheel...this might be causing the cocked upper part...

    Heh, heh heh......he said cocked...

    Yes, the bottom is cocked. But I can't fix it, till I can further lower the tire.

    And yes, i think that is a safety. And next time I get Jedi over, I'm going to try pliers on the bottom, hoping the top of the safety will squeeze in.
    Maybe I'll try a little silicone.
    The mechanism is probably froze up.
