It’s timed to go back on its own after 5-10 minutes I believe

No special tools needed it’s pretty straight forward

I have stands just don’t use them sometimes if I don’t feel it’s necessary unless I’m going completely under a vehicle, I know what to expect otherwise.

Thanks for watching my vid, Glad it helped.

If you can give it a jump I would do that and then try this method but if it’s not an option then I would recommend removing the drive shaft or a cv axle.

there is a bolt under the transmission near the gear selector, you turn the bolt and it forces it in neutral

The steering typically stays center when replacing with an oem spec part.

Anytime you replace a strut,you should get an alignment

Best of luck to you.

I guess It would depend on what kind of shortage you have like starter, wiring or ecu?

What if it’s starter?

@@fredysandjong1589 If the starter has an issue this trick may still work, I’m not 100% sure but it’s worth the try. If it doesn’t work the next option I would do is disconnect the driveshaft. If your car has the “X-Drive” or “awd” option then disconnect the driveshaft & a front cv axle.

Not working if starter is off😢

Just don't trust that floor jack by itself to suspend that vehicle weight. Use jack stands and block those wheels.

I've had that too. Not really much you can do about it except then change the strut bearing. That kind of wipes out the purpose of a quick strut assembly!

@@42lookc Yea it sucked but I actually contacted Rockauto and they sent me new ones-sucked I had to redo both sides but no more noise so Im happy lol

@@hunterm.172 Right on! 🙂

I put my pliers on the bolt end (incase its not seized i dont want it to free spin) & the impact on the nut. The bolt typically is seized in place so if you get the nut to come free usually for the seized bolt i thread the nut on enough to where its flush with the end of the bolt (to protect the threads) & hit it a few times with a mallet. If that doesn't work use a torch on the bolt & try the process again. Those tricks always work for me but if not for you using a ball joint press & pressing it out would be my last option.

Man I needed a 2.5lb hammer and then bolts flung out!! Took me 90 mins total both sides!! That count jacking up the car and tires!!! I appreciate the video!!!

i don't remember it was a clients car but I know it was an OEM spec replacement in a yellow box with blue lettering.

@@hoodbillysyellow and blue is bilstein

Looks like a kyb quick strut tho 🤔

Thanks for your opinion pointing out a flaw, I'll try to make future vids better.

@@hoodbillys Nah bro great video he's just a complainer. Thank you for the help

@@gb342002 the video wasn’t perfect but good enough to post and help someone. So I appreciate both of your opinion.

I used jack stands (2x) i just have a habit of leaving the jack in place (supporting little to no weight at all) incase a stand "fails"

@@hoodbillys me too.

Thank you sir, I hope the same for you. Thanks for watching.

@@hoodbillys Your very welcome sir anytime. My day is going good. Do you know how to read and comprehend wiring diagrams sir?

Thanks you.

No problem, Thanks for watching best of luck to you.

@@hoodbillys went perfect. a couple nuts were difficult to remove, but reassembly was cake.

I have a 18 just touched 80k Think it's time for me to replace?

@@Lord_Don couldn't hurt. My tire had wear patterns that indicated resonance bouncing and made a replacement an easy decision.

@@King_Kristof thanks broski! What’s a good brand for a smooth ride?

I agree, this isn't a long term repair just a "repair" the owner didn't want to pay the price for a new harness and installment just the "get it running again the cheapest way so i can get rid of it" price. Its a year later and i still see this car on the road with no problems.
