It was late . . . replacing the rear shoes and wheel cylinders had taken a lot longer than it should have. It was after dark and I . . . umm, I mean, "someone" was in a hurry 'cause it was getting cold and they were dressed for the warmer daylight hours. This someone "remembers" tightening all four of the bolts . . . problem is, one of the bolts didn't remember getting tightened. I guess the bolt felt rejected and figured it wasn't needed . . . and it just packed it bags and jumped off somewhere.
You know, I think I need to mount a great big super strong magnet on Homer's rear bumper. That way if something like this happened to Homer, the magnet would grab the bolt . . . or heater box . . . or whatever else falls off . . . :lol:
The good news is nobody got hurt. And the bus this happed to now has good brakes on all four corners. It even has a fuctioning e-brake . . . which turns out to be a good thing to have if a bolt falls out of a front caliper.
:oops:
