⚠ Attention! The mistake was made in the video at 10:18 minutes. The tightening torque is 80 Nm, not 40 Nm. We are sorry for the inconvenience.

[@armchairdude8524]

It was comforting to note that the hub to strut bolts were already at torque before torquing them.

[@karlossmith3714]

The last video of t5 strut change was good..but this is even better.
Thank You

[@autodocuk]

We are glad that this video was useful to you!

[@hanshans387]

Excellent demonstration , thank you

[@aldarimana1743]

Very good tutorial!
Thank you

[@Arterium]

Great video. Thank you

[@featherstonehobbies]

So the socket that spreads the hub so the shocker comes put easier what is the part number for that

[@ianpearce5745]

Very clear and easy to follow video .

[@autodocuk]

Thank you for sharing your opinion!

[@THEDIESELCHANNEL]

Great video. Thanks

[@toy578]

Top job 👍

[@tf-lv4zu]

Awesome thanks so much

[@neilrutherford868]

Much better video than the first attempt! However I always clean and regrease the thrust bearing it only takes 10 minutes, and will then be good for many thousands of miles.
As someone has already commented using a trolly jack and axle stands the job is a nightmare (I think that is an understatement).
Thanks for the video though. Anybody reading Haynes will be told to take off the caliper and disc and that's wrong.

We are sure that your comment will be useful for many of our viewers.

[@babelonchabalala1690]

Thanks.... Very helpfull ... But suggestion is to only hand tight wipers..... I broke of the stud by overtightening

How long does it take in real time?

[@delenter1391]

Where would you find the part numbers for the rubber bumpers at each end of the bonnet / air chamber rubber seal?

So simple when working on a high vehicle lift and with a transmission telescopic jack. I didn’t see these tools listed... try doing it on axle stands, it’s a nightmare.

[@autodocuk]

Thank you for sharing your opinion!

[@davidgausten752]

Pretty sure wheel bolts are 180nm?

[@ingmarvdlee]

its 180nm indeed, also a lot of bolts and nuts are to be replaced after single use, which isnt mentioned in the video. These are stretch bolts and nuts and are to be angle tightened after initial torque is reached.

[@catalinnicolae4443]

What is the role of copper grease?

[@Audigiant]

Anti corrosion protection....

[@Oskar_CII]

Ain't nobody got time for wearing out wire brushes nor wantonly wasting gallons of precious WD40.
