I think we're all missing the real question here. Why did you give your wife a mallet to use under the jeep?
Let me get this right...all I have to do is give my wife a hammer and set her loose under the jeep? I should have thought of this sooner!
My wife (Alana) is a degreed master mechanic that has taught automotive drive-line classes at several local vocational schools. Trust me this was just an accident.
The housing got cocked a bit coming out and she intended to tap the ring to straighten it up while I was in the catching pose. She lost her footing and missed the mark.
Every bolt that has been turned on both our Jeeps has been done together. I am a very lucky man. :yup::yup: (At least when it comes to her)
