At 37, I now have the lower spine of a 70 year old...as per a spinal specialist that has seen me more than a couple of times the last few years...........
Now I use the muscle called a brain! Engine hoists, floor jacks, etc. are our friends.

Here here! I have spurs on several of my vertebra and some discs that are deteriorating. Add to that arthritis that keeps getting worse with every tick of the clock in my shoulders, thumb joints ect.. I tried to put a K301 into the back of my pick up... NOT!!! When I took apart a 301 I thought well with this heavy starter off it should be manageable. Nope. Then came off the flywheel. Now I thought I could move it for sure. Nope. A long story a little shorter.. I have a neighbor that I now hi-jack to help me.
