Inspiration for all you armchair mechanics........................

Done that about 20 times, never seems to be that quick though>?!?>

Bravo !
Makes it look so easy but if I dismantled it I would just be sat there surrounded by an enormous pile of nuts and bolts and not have a clue where to put them all!!
Still, at least it was when engines still looked like engines
magnifico !
