smashed the finger nail

[fiat218]

no one mention that if i took off the caliper? and dust cover. that the axle slides forward? then i shoved it back in ( in a panic ) and smashed my finger between the plates


that was not ever mentioned on this forum lol damn it

[dmwhiteoak]

That looks like it might have hurt.

[fiat218]

It is throbbing,

[dmwhiteoak]

Take a large sewing needle and heat it up red hot. Push the hot point into the blackest part of the nail. When pressure is relieved it will nolonger throb. Do not use a drill press like this guy did that I know. It Didnt work out well for him.

True
But just think what I have learned thru this process lol.

[dmwhiteoak]

I mashed the nail on my right middle finger 4 years ago and the nail still grows in two separate pieces.

Right index nail replaced courtesy of a front Fiat caliper and compressed air

I think this process (smashing your nail) is on page 124 of the factory manual. Anyone have one to check it out . I was infantry Marine for 27 years and most of the visible scars on my body were inflicted by FIATS!
