No disrespect to Crohnos01. I've had parts breakage also, with Dillon's. I beleave him.
"I swear I wasn't reefing on the handle, just mild pressure."
Just brought to mind all the excuses I've heard being a mechanic and know they were full of s**t. One of the better ones was a gal brought her car in with front end noise that just started that morning. I pulled the wheel off and found the disc brake pad gone and the caliper piston had worn through the rotor in to the cooling fins and the wheel bearings were shot. The only thing holding the tire/rim on was the caliper casting.
Let's hear some good stories. Like the guy that bought a battery back as it did not work. Turned out he was using it to jump his car with no jumper cables. He just turned it upside down onto his battery to make the jump. Have no idea why it did not explode.
