One of the many for me was doing a valve timing on my 1963 190D. I would put the car in gear with the injectors removed and turn the engine with the fan blade. Real easy, got it all done and then I changed the fuel filter and proceed to bleed the line of air with the ejectors removed from the car. I hooked up my auxialliar start button, hit it once and was promtly pinned between the car and the concrete wall of my garaged. I forgot to put the car in neutral. Was pinned for about 15 minutes, until I thought of turning the fan blade backwards and have the car slowly un pin me. NOt a pleasant experiance. My other opps was removing the flywheel off the same car. IT has these really shallow bolts that have a tendancy to let the socket slip off. Well it slipped and I drove my hand across the sharp edge of the fly wheal and ended up needing 6 stiches across my thumb.

Enough for now. I will post more when I can. I have plenty.
