[Shotimes] crank bolt ?

[Ian Fisher]

Anytime! If it can be screwed up, broken or killed,
I've probably done it! :)

FWIW, my tire trick included an old tire sans wheel
lying on its side with the oil pan resting where the
wheel would be (in the center). I didn't mean for JVO
(or anyone) to try this with the tires that are
currently on their car. It probably won't work. :)
