I have thought about that many times , if the branch did not scratch the body I would have done it . But I learnt a lesson years ago in the late 60s I had a Rover 2000 it refused to start and gave me problems . I got so angry I kicked the metal wheel cover with force while shouting " start you b*stard start " ( I was years ahead of Basil ) . I limped about for a week or more with bruised toes . All my mates found it funny .   I will get my own back and give it a good waxing. Why not give it a good thrashing with a tree branch.

@ Jack The Lad
... had similar experience when trying to remove the seats. I have a pit in my garage but like you I've not only too short legs but too short arms and no twin elbows to get the nuts off while holding the spanner underneath the car. My wife wasn't around so the duct tape did the job. Had success getting off one bolt & nut only to learn that I had a decent mix of imperial and metric nuts & bolts. And it all started when swmbo asked to clean the carpets thoroughly - I never dreamed that the carpets are bolted on - an engineering highlight

Advantage of hydraulic brakes: equally surface pressure all around (old advertisment of ATE)
