OT - useful cheater bar technique for loosening stuck bolts
 
While looking for some other stuff, I happened across this picture of
adopting a swing-set ladder for use as a cheater bar. It shows a
technique I hadn't thought of myself.

That picture reminds me of a guy I used to work with. I went over to
his house after work and he showed my his newly rebuilt V8 sitting on
the carport floor braced by a couple 4x4s. There was a rubber tube
coming out of an anti freeze jug wired to the roof rafters and some
wires going to a couple big alligator clips. I asked what's with the
tube and wires and he showed me. He put the clips onto a car battery
and then used jumper cables to spin the starter motor. The enginer
started right up. He grabbed the throttle linkage and tweaked the
throttle. The motor twisted off the supports and kinda bounced around.
With only an exhaust manifold it was really loud. Anyway, the motor
almost knocked him over. He pulled the clips from the battery real
fast and then collapsed on the floor laughing. I think he almost
****ed his pants when the motor started bouncing. I laughed my ass off
too. We topped off the exitement with some beers.

There is someone who does not know how to use a puller correctly.....
