Remember the days when every auto mfg used engine bolts and fasteners that only fit their brand and charged a premium for replacements. Then the change from asa to metric, which required total tool replacement. Was so much fun.
The boss ordered a do-it-yourself storage cabinet for the bathroom at work. It had almost 120 pieces. After dumping them all out on the floor, I repackaged them and said: “I think we need to buy one that is already assembled!”
Assembly instructions mostly come with pictograms these days, as it’s near impossible to print them in every language of every market around the world. Therefore I ask, How hard is it to decipher pictograms? we teach that to our kids before they learn to read or write.

Always identify and count all parts as soon as you get home from the store, while you still have the receipt.

Reminds me of changing a water pump on a Ford Pinto many years ago. 11 bolts, each a different length!! Engineers have weird sense of humor.

Don’t worry about it. If it was made in China, it probably will fall apart or combust on its own.

That’ll create a nice case of “torque elbow”.

Hey Jeff—Look at the screws she has in her hand and then re-read what you have her saying. You had the right idea but need to word it correctly.

So use the step 8 screws on step 36.
