We had to fire a fella back when I was a kid because he didn't want to use a puller so he just barely snugged that nut so the hub would fall off. Well, that wasn't the only reason he got fired. He would lift vehicles by the front bumper, change valve cover gaskets and carburetors, etc with an air gun.

Awhile after that we got a road call for a no start. When I got there [ 318 V8 Detroit diesel] he was already there. The engine was obviously ether bound, the mouth was open and the firewall had the typical bottle of ether, big ass bottle. He was talking to the driver while he was waving the rosebud along the side go the engine block. I just put my hand on the drivers arm and pulled him back away a few seconds before the side of the block let loose knocking the tire right off the wheel and breaking his arm in 3 places. Then I got the honor of taking him to the hospital. I told him thats what he gets for stealing a road call and being stupid.
