Ok, so we got in work and it turned out to be a typical monday mornin.
One look at the Transit was all it took to see something wasnt right, it had a flat tyre. So we jacked it up and tried to take the spare off. Half an hour past and still, with 5 of us trying, we still hadnt got the spare off. We checked the manual, asked around the shop, no luck.
Eventually we got the thing off.
Dont you just love mondays.

You only need two tools in life: WD-40 and Duct Tape. If it doesn't move and it should, use WD-40. If it moves and shouldn't, use the duct tape.
