So what did you do?
How do you pronounce 'either'? I say 'either', but some say 'either'. Either is correct.

The Engine was on a pallet in the garage, its scrap, I took off the sump, wedged the hammer upside down, up one of the cylinders, to stop the crank from turning. Positioned it so the Engine mount arm, was in between the wood slats, in the pallet, so it couldn't move, then with a massive breaker bar, bought for such occasions, just kept trying to undone it, took ages, eventually heard a loud dry cracking sound, undone!
