Together forever.

Today I once again, was amazed by Google. Today I ran into a problem with removing the rear drum to change the brakes on my 2002 Toyota Sienna. Normally they just come off when you loosen the brakes and remove the tire. I then started beating it with a hammer thinking this would break it loose. This also failed. I was thinking maybe this vehicle is different and I need to loosen a bolt or something. I washed the hands and headed to my computer to ask Google. As always she delivered the answer to my question. She sent me to a site that solved a problem I was working on for about an hour. 30 seconds after I read the solution I had the drums off. There so many search engines out there today, but me and Google are staying together forever.

You know what I like about this post? I'm reading about how once you couldn't get it off, the FIRST thing you tried was "beating it with a hammer", and I read that thinking, "well, yeah, beat it with a hammer, thats what I would try, seriously, that didn't work?".

I bet there's a lot of guys out there that default to, "well, did you try beating it with a hammer?", when we are faced with problems we can't immediately solve.
