[Publib] Ask a librarian

[Backwage at aol.com]

I have said for many years that it is vitally important for libraries to  
carry repair manuals for the commonest types of automobiles and trucks.   Here's 
another reason why:
 
Associated Press:  A man trying to loosen a stubborn  lug nut blasted the 
wheel with a 12-gauge shotgun, injuring himself badly in  both legs, sheriff's 
deputies said.

The 66-year-old man had been  repairing a Lincoln Continental for two weeks 
at his home northwest of  Southworth, about 10 miles southwest of Seattle, and 
had gotten all but one of  the lug nuts off the right rear wheel by Saturday 
afternoon, Kitsap County  Deputy Scott Wilson said.

"He's bound and determined to get that lug nut  off," Wilson said.

>From about arm's length, the man fired the shotgun at  the wheel and was 
"peppered" in both legs with buckshot and debris, with some  injuries as high as 
his chin, according to a sheriff's office report.
