But damn, after I started turning it the correct way, it was a ***** to get off!!! LOL

sorry, but thanks for the tears : )

One thing I tell people when they start working on cars is

1. Always check the ratchet is turning the way you want it to, before you put it on a bolt/nut.
2. Stand/lay down etc, orient yourself so that the bolt/nut would be in front of you and turn the ratchet/wrench the correct way. This will get you heading in the right directly 95% of the time. The other 5% your a dumbazz and should back away from the car after the first $100 in repairs you caused trying to fix a $10 part.

How many noticed.. I wrote two things..not one.

Stop looking at my thyroid while you are thinking eyeball!
