As an ex-shop mechanic, I used to make fun of the 2x4 and hammer guys (Sunday mechanics coming to the shop on Monday for me to fix what they broke). Last year, I had to desperately put a headset on my old Gios. I used a 2x4, large screwdrivers, and a hammer.

I've become a FRED. Long live FRED!

I think I like the big a$$ screw and bolt thing from ebay. Its so McGuyver.
