Narrative

Contractor was repairing torque converter output seal, laying on right side platform with his legs extended over the platform. He used his abdomen muscles to arch up to reach back for a wrench and popping noise occurred in right knee. He climbed off machine and walked around trying to stretch and maneuver his knee. That is when the real pain started.
