Warning! Not for the faint of heart!
No matter how careful you are, crap happens,
I was trying to loosen a rod bolt on this Briggs when the bolt freed up and the side of my thumb slid up the edge of the RAZOR SHARP key way literally removing a layer of flesh and 1/4 of my thumb nail. Natural reaction was to put everything back together so in the picture you can see the piece of me laying on top of the injury, I'm sure it will fall off.
This is the edge of the crank with the key way that bit me.
Just a reminder to always be careful no matter how simple the task.
