Well I had got a 95 camshaft and sprocket from the local Pull-a-Part to send 3Tech. This morning I was trying to loosen the bolt so I could separate them for shipping. I put a screwdriver through one of the holes and used a wrench on the bolt. Tried to torque it off and the screwdriver handle broke in my right hand slashing the flesh between the thumb and index finger. Spent two hours in the emergency room and have my first car injury. Probably won't be the last. Stupid cheap screwdrivers! |

Yeah, it sucked. It was a very intense stinging sensation. The worst part was getting injected with Novocaine, but then after it numbed hasn't been bad. |

First I would like to say, I am sorry you are hurt and hope you heal fast and well! Then I would like to address the stupid screwdrivers statement. Was what you were doing designed to be done by a screwdriver? LOL |

This is why I use good tools. Sorry to hear you have injured yourself. ED is right. Could this have been done with a small pry bar. Also you where trying to turn it the correct direction right. Try a little heat this time on the bolt. If it has never been off. It will still have the factory loctite. And will be very hard to break loose. I know all the mechanics here have scars like that. Remember, Chicks dig scars. Also every project wants its ounce of blood. I know all mine do. I hope you heal quickly |

Sorry about the injury, epurvee. It happens, eh. My first was changing spark plugs and my Dad said 'Now you are a mechanic, you have drawn blood.' Yep, drugs. 'Better living through modern chemistry.' |

welcome to the club!!!! Here's my greatest car related injury ![]() 8stiches later.... and yes you could see bone! Don't remember 100% I was intoxicated..... I'm thinkin it was something to do with the removal of my exaust and fuel tank on my 61 new yorker derby car. All I remember was me comming comming from up under the car and Tyler saying... "HOLLY SHIT DUDE WE GOTTA GET YOU TO THE HOSPITAL"
