I feel your pain, I got bitten by a focus a few years back too, I was using a bottle jack to push the rear control arm up and compress the spring, and I had some blocks under it. As I was cranking the jack, all of a sudden the arm went sideways and for whatever reason my left hand ended up between the control arm and blocks. Took most of the flesh off the left index finger, ambulance, hospital cleaning, the whole lot. Car was sitting up on stands for a few days until I grew the balls to finish the job. It took a few months to properly recover. Some lessons are written in blood but like yourself, it didn't stop me. I was doing the job after work, tired in the dark, don't mess with springs when you're tired!
Wow ! I hope youre OK and healing well.I love all your no nonsense videos,they give me confidence to do the jobs myself.Once again best wishes and thank you.

@floodea thanks for your comments, yes unfortunately playing with heavy metal sometimes paying heavy price if not carefully. So be very careful 😂
