lastnight i welded up my rear lower wishbones for the roadster and they twisted slightly so this morning i put one in the vice and put a spare bit of
25x25 tube in between it and gave it a pull to try and straighten it up. i gave it one good pull and the bar slipped and hit me in the face just below
the left side of my nose. 3 hours at a&e and 3 stitches later i just hope it wont scar too much

But is the wishbone ok ?
Well Chick's dig scars!
Or so they say!!!

You have to laugh (after you've found a quiet corner to cry to yourself without anyone seeing!).
I did something similar getting the fill plug out of my diff - it was sized dead, so I stuck a 2ft bit of tube on a wrench to give a bit more
leverage. Didn't think about the fact it's an oil fill plug, so was well lubricated apart from the very outer bit. Sent me reeling off
into the rear suspension of my Indy and have a 4inch scar on my elbow to show where I made contact with the corner of the roll bar mounting plate.
So will your forum name be changing now then???
even better still when you can see it comming, but carry on in the hope that you will get the job done first.

Are you not supposed to make a wish when you pull a wishbone, what did you wish for?
Well at least you got it straight 
Auuuuch,
You suppose to straight up the wishbone and not you face....
Where's the obligatory photo??
Ouch 
Somehow it seems to hurt more when you can see it coming ......
sore face
the actual hitting myself didnt hurt had a bit of a shock when i saw my face in the mirror but by god the injection at the a&e hurt like nothing
else. i asked the doc if she was using a kniting needle.

it's only a scratch... a woman would soon set you straight about pain....

looks nicely swollen! You'll be glad you had a shave cos you'll be growing a bit of stubble now!! Maybe a beard depending on how quickly you
heal!!!!!
