Your're welcome. I thought it a good idea to document a repair for future reference, especially when a dig cam is available.
This was the first time on grass for me actually and I like it. I normally work on a firmer surface, a packed dirt driveway but I was looking for shade which the grass area provided. Just have to make sure wide wooden planks are well placed under jacks and backup supports so it won't sink in. I use cardboard to crawl under the car with and it both cleaner and more pleasant on grass than the driveway. Hey, I'm a real shade tree mechanic.

Steve,
Thanks for posting the pictures and taking the time and effort to
share your experience with us. This is not the first time that you have
shared a jpg or tip to help us maintain our pugs. I also got a kick out
of the background of your pictures, grass! I also do all my work in the
great outdoors. Thanks again, your effort is appreciated.
