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.
