Murphy's law of DIY: What you drop will delay the completion of the project. It will be a specialty item, cost will be shocking, something that has to be ordered, parts stores are closed or will require a search and drive that takes a minimum of four hours. You will not find the item or it will magically appear where you are positive you looked three to five times, that will be at least one day after the vehicle is back on the road. Footnote--Just before you drop the item you will say to yourself that you have to be very careful not to do so. And, if you buy only one replacement it is likely you will drop it again. If you buy more than one you will not drop it and never need the item again.

Sounds like words of wisdom and experience
