      All mechanic work videos are welcome. Hopefully those plastic ramps don't get ya killed. I've seen some videos about them failing easily without blocks behind the rear tires.👍

      @@masonreppeto882 I'm sure that happens. These are actually pretty good ramps. Solid all the way through. Although Jack stands would be a good idea as with the ramps.

    it's much less of a problem to go through the top, you just have to remove the fan

    That was helpful, mine looked more like one solid piece of rust, was able to get to drop a bit and cut the cable , 22 year old truck in the rust belt and don't think tire was ever removed.😅

    It's so much harder with a right hand drive CRD model.... I think it took 3.5hours.... Intercooler etc everything cramps you up and jams.

      At least you still didn't have to pay someone to do it. That's a win.

    Thanks. Why do they have to get so fancy.? I was not going to figure that out. Thank goodness I just want to change a tire on a relaxed Saturday and not on the side of a highway

      I only figured it out because I needed to drop the tire to help access for dropping the gas tank.
