Watch those brake pad clips

[walenator]

Cleaned up the truck today, and while flossing the front wheels with a wash rag around the caliper, I managed to slice my hand on the pad retaining clip. Bled like a stuck pig. Packed it with some vaseline and finished the rest of the wheels. Them things are sharp.

They're on the back wheels too. Yeah, your right. They are sharp little suckers. Did just about the same thing.

Packed it with some vaseline....

Next time, try some superglue (cyanoacrylate). Works much better.

And it lets you know your alive. Stings like a SOB.

No it doesn't.
There aren't any solvents (what stings) in CA.

If you applied CA to a cut and it stung, you had other stuff in there.

Hmmmm, I wonder what that stuff was I used. There is some other stuff called "New Skin". Now that stuff stings.
