Haynes Manuals
In the past the Haynes Manual has come up in group, a past Honda 600 owner passed this along some time ago on how to understand some of the key phrases in the book. Please enjoy.
A friend from the UK sent me this to help me
understand the Haynes manual while working on my car.
I thought a few of you would enjoy the translations.

Haynes Manual Translation
Haynes:
Rotate anticlockwise.
Translation:
Clamp with molegrips, then beat
repeatedly with a hammer anticlockwise.
Haynes:
This is a snug fit.
Translation:
You will skin your knuckles!
Haynes:
This is a tight fit.
Translation:
Not a hope in Hell, matey!
Haynes:
As described in Chapter 7...
Translation:
That'll teach you not to read through
before you start, now you are looking at scary photos
of the inside of a gearbox.
Haynes:
Pry...
Translation:
Hammer a screwdriver into...
Haynes:
Undo...
Translation:
Try lots of heat, a tin of WD40
(catering size), or a ten pound hammer.
Haynes:
Retain tiny spring...
Translation:
"Jeez!
What was that, it nearly had my
eye out!"
Haynes:
Press and rotate to remove bulb...
Translation:
OK - that's the glass bit off, now fetch
some good pliers to dig out that pesky bayonet part.
Haynes:
Lightly...
Translation:
Start off lightly and build up till the
veins on your forehead are throbbing, then re-check
the manual because what you are doing now cannot be
defined as 'lightly'.
Haynes:
Weekly checks...
Translation:
If it ain't broke, don't fix it!
Haynes:
Routine maintenance...
Translation:
If it ain't broke... it's about to be!
Haynes:
One spanner rating.
Translation:
Your Mum could do this... so how did you
manage to botch it up?
Haynes:
Two spanner rating.
Translation:
Now you may think that you can do this
because two is a low, tiny, 'ikkle number... but you
also thought the wiring diagram was a map of
the Tokyo underground (in fact that would have been
more use to you).
Haynes:
Three spanner rating.
Translation:
But Mini's are easy to maintain right...
right?
So you think three Mini spanners has got to be
like a 'regular car' two spanner job.
Haynes:
Four spanner rating.
Translation:
You are seriously considering this
aren't you, you pleb!
Haynes:
Five spanner rating.
Translation: OK - but don't expect us to ride in it
afterwards!!!
Haynes:
If not, you can fabricate your own special
tool like this...
Translation:
Hahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahaha!!!!
Haynes:
Compress...
Translation:
Squeeze with all your might, jump up and
down on, swear at, throw at the garage wall, then
search in the dark corner of the garage for it whilst
muttering "bugger" repeatedly under your breath.
Haynes:
Inspect...
Translation:
Squint at really hard and pretend you
know what you are looking at, then declare in a loud
knowing voice to your wife "Yep, as I thought, it's
going to need a new one"!
Haynes:
Carefully...
Translation:
You are about to cut yourself!
Haynes:
Retaining nut...
Translation:
Yes, that's it, that big spherical blob
of rust.
Haynes:
Adjust gap to specified distance.
Translation:
Ha-ha - got you again - you can search
this book forever and you won't find it!
Haynes:
Get an assistant...
Translation:
Prepare to humiliate yourself in front
of someone you know.
Haynes:
Turning the engine will be easier with the
spark plugs removed.
Translation:
However, starting the engine afterwards
will be much harder. Once that sinking pit of your
stomach feeling has subsided, you can start to
feel deeply ashamed as you gingerly refit the spark
plugs.
Haynes:
Refitting is the reverse sequence to removal.
Translation:
But you swear in different places.
Haynes:
Prise away plastic locating pegs...
Translation:
Snap off...
Haynes:
Using a suitable drift...
Translation:
The biggest nail in your tool box isn't
a suitable drift!
Haynes:
Everyday toolkit
Translation:
Ensure you have an AAA Card & Mobile
Phone
Haynes:
Apply moderate heat...
Translation:
Placing your mouth near it and huffing
isn't moderate heat.
Haynes:
The bearing inner races can be released by
applying light leverage.
Translation:
There is absolutely no way those inner
races will budge without the application of a puller
(which you haven't got) and a lot of swearing.
Haynes:
Index
Translation:
List of all the things in the book bar
the thing you want to do!
For Added Haynes Fun:
Go to the first section, Safety First, and read the
bit about Hydrofluoric Acid - do you really want the
advice of a book that uses this form of
understatement???!!?
Now look at the lovely colour section on body repairs
- as you look at these two pages say to yourself over
and over until it sinks in, "Mine will never look like
that..."
Flick to the end and look at the colour glow plug
pictures, how do these compare to the glow plugs in
your Mini?
If you cannot locate the glow plugs
in your Mini see the last translation on the list!
NB: Haynes Manuals are (c)opyright of a very disturbed
sadist

Re: Brake light bases
Hello,
I'll have what you're in need of. I check this afternoon, take some pics and tell you the condition of these parts. I hope that shipping costs are not too expensive from France...
Thank you.
Pierre.
