Well I'm not new to mechanics, like I said I spent 3 yes building my 97, replaced every part on it. Did a full 1 ton SAS with hangers and brackets/crossmember I fabbed myself, did a auto to stick conversion, went through 6 trannys. 4 teases, 3 rear ends, 2 ifs diffs. Put a 10" lift on, crossover steering, And I was getting ready to flatbed it when my tie rod end snapped in half at 65mph... plowed into dirt wall, went up it at angle and caught air.. landed on my roof and rolled twice b4 it stopped back on wheels... it's just this 1 little fitting I didn't even really forget, just don't see where to attach a hose cuz the brake booster is different.Learning moment. Nobody can remember every detail usually. Raise your hand if don't have mobile phone with a camera. Take some photos, do it every time. I was taking photos with my Cannon SLR on any engine teardowns. When , " what's a cellular phone , a brick ? " Yeah back then.
Now it's sooooo easy. Take photos, it's easy, 5 seconds, will save you how much, " where does this go?"
If your NEW to mechanical skill learning! More photos have been taken in the last ten years than the previous 100 years!
Take photos of what your starting on , in progress, and have the in hand information to successfully complete your repair and or project. Win, Win !
