    Oh, very true, definitely don’t want any bolts or nuts coming loose.

    I started working on and rebuilding go-kart engines like 30 years ago at age 12, and started working on vehicles around age 22. I’ve never had any screw, bolt, or nut that I’ve installed ever come loose, and my roommate’s brakes are no exception, they’re not going to come loose.

    It just dumbfounds me that I managed to twist break an extension like that, with my bare hands and muscles and all.

    After breaking the extension, I dug deeper into the trunk to get our boxed in wrenches to tighten everything back up, no problem there.

    Honestly I think the extension was made of mild steel, not good tempered steel.
