Go slowly. If it takes a bit longer to do so what.
If you think about it stripping that bolt is ridiculous because you could have tested it before you stripped it by seeing does it hold.
And torque wrenchs are not the solution to every stripped bolt because it could be the installation is wrong in the first place. So you end up stripping the bolt anyway.
Go slowly. Mechanics are not born they learn.
And everyone messed up at some stage.
very wise words.
we've all busted bolts and made mistakes, that's how one learns, and as you say, YouTube vids can be a good resource, but the world isn't computer world of bits and bytes and one has to learn hands on.
I find lots of people I know who are computer savvy don't realize this and think it's like finding the right menu and whatnot and it will be easy like clicking a mouse.
As you rightly said, we all need to learn.
