A friend of mine was pulling the drive shaft out of his truck in the driveway. As he was taking the last bolt out, he realized that without the drive shaft, the parking brake wouldn't hold.
It must have been a Wiley Coyote movement for a second as the last thread came out and he realized what was about to happen.
The truck ran over him as it rolled out of the driveway. Luckily, he wasn't seriously hurt.
I still get the willies thinking about the kid who posted a nice series of photos showing how to pull a Toyota truck differential. Only problem, he had two Chinese bottle jacks holding up the truck. Two make matters worse, he had each bottle jack on a brick to gain extra clearance.
Thank God for Chinese quality control.
