replacing lug bolts

[Hanzo]

I replaced one on a friends Jeep...in retrospect, I wish I would've either been smarter or put the wheel on like GreenMachine said.

I was trying to seat the bolt (and for those of you who've done it know, it takes a LOT of force) and accidently heaved it enough to drop it off the jack. It caught a bit of my hand and broke a few bones, but I made it out with all my fingers.

A little tip to anyone doing this in the future, after you release the parking brake to get at it...REMEMBER TO RESET IT.

I had trouble getting the rear drums off back When I replaced a bad pinion bearing (it was my first diff rebuilding experience). Then I released the parking brake and it got WAAAY easier
