I was pulling a transmission today and, as usual, used a coat hanger to support the brake caliper. I looped the top of the hanger through a hole in the body but it wasn't moving..

I grabbed a pair of pliers and pulled down on the hanger. As I started thinking about what would happen if it slipped off.. it did. I was pulling downward pretty hard when it slipped and the piece of hanger sticking straight up from the caliper stabbed straight through my hand!

Yea, I did the proper thing and got the car back together and running.

Note to self: If you use coat hangers please bend the sharp ends over.
This $h!t is starting to hurt!

hope you cleaned it well and watch for infection! at the first sign of infection, go to the doctor.
better yet go see the dr. and get a Rx for an antibiotic.
glad you're ok and finished the job.

vaesfore

That will get infected, no doubt. Take precautions now.
