Bust my shoulder after lifting a Transfer box on to the back of the gearbox of a nice DSE
It'll be fine i'm sure!!
That's why you should use a lift to do it, makes life so much easier.

And that comes from an old wise voice.
Where as most of us now feel how we abused our joints when we were young.
Mine complain quite often after a life of manual/outside labour

Broked the ignition barrel, the electric windows/sunroof, and EAS, and soaking wet sunroof panel.
Well almost. First the key wouldn't turn in barrel, took 4 attempts. She did the same repeatedly each time I jumped back in. So it's graphite spray tomorrow.
Windows started working about 5 mins into journey. But was still bothering me.
EAS showing no lights at all. Lit up for about 30 seconds , around 20 mins after starting, but fault message stayed on. Then lights out and 'mum I'm not well ' message , when I switched her off.
Spoke to my friendly indy, who suggested voltage. So I came home, left her running whilst I dried off sunroof panel. Which was around an hour.
Switched her off, restarted her, lights on , but message still there , did left to right , and message gone.

Depends what you mean by 'bust'. If you pulled a muscle, it'll heal. Torn ligaments, tendons, muscle, will heal without intervention but you will suffer for life, and it will get worse as you get older. # bone needs seen by a professional, again it will heal without intervention , but you will suffer.Bust my shoulder after lifting a Transfer box on to the back of the gearbox of a nice DSE

Suck it up, is no longer seen as an acceptable way of dealing with injury. It costs the NHS , and you, more in the long run.

The Morse chain in the old one had snapped the output and she was on a slope so a jack was a no go!!
As for the lift, it would of been handy.
Lifting 126lbs off your chest isn't the smartest thing to do I admit, luckily being double that weight myself I managed to show it who's boss!
Job's done, and it drives well

Morning Keith, do you mean the axle and in my case the manual gearbox breather pipes? think it must have been left off years ago because I don't remember seeing one.The little bracket holding the breather pipes on the lower manifold bolt on cylinder 6, people forget to put it back

This genius left the lights on when I got home yesterday. Battery is as flat as a strap.
