This video series is a project log of me fixing my vehicle instead of taking it to a mechanic. I'd never done anything more than regular vehicle maintenance so this was very overwhelming to start. My confidence grew and I feel much more comfortable attempting bigger projects on my own after doing this. I do make some mistakes along the way and I don't hide anything during this project log. I was quoted over $3000 for the job but did it myself for just the cost of a few parts and my time. I did the whole project without too many "fancy tools" other than my when my neighbor helped me remove one part with a puller and his impact gun.
Leave the comment section for questions and comments related to the project. I'm happy to answer questions but I'll ignore trolls, BS, or overall useless comments. I spent a lot of time documenting and creating this video and my only goal is to help someone else with their project.
