Harking back to Tony Gs post, modern youth can be quite cptured by the novelty of things mechanical. My son attended sea scouts and I got lumberd with much of the extensive maintenance of the boat trailer fleet. Apart from endless electrical troubles the wheels had to removed and the studs regularly greased. (Otherwise get stranded if a flat tyre) There was one youth who was a disruptive handful but got him changing wheels etc and he got really enthused. I explained to his mum that he would get his clothes dirty but she was very understanding ""He is a boy. Go for it!"
