Amazing videos, as a mechanic who’s taken hundreds of online and in person training your way of explaining and showing every step is perfect and clear. One word of advice is remember when torquing something using an off set driver you should keep the driver 90 degrees to the torque wrench. The offset from the 1/2” drive to the center of the driveshaft nut looks to only be 3” or so but the torque will be affected if the tool isn’t at 90 degrees to wrench. Again, great videos, thanks

Did the shimming require a special tool of any kind?

[@jrisinlove]

What was the overall cost with parts? And tools?

[@kubaSWAT]

Did you reshimmed it?

[@DIYwithMichaelBorders]

We did however didn’t cover that as it is different for each drive.

@@DIYwithMichaelBorders what a pity because it’s the most important and difficult part …

[@DIYwithMichaelBorders]

@@kubaSWAT Indeed, we didn’t want to give anyone the wrong advice. As mentioned in the video, it is extremely important to reference your exact serial number service manual for that process. 😎👍

[@kubaSWAT]

@@DIYwithMichaelBorders but general idea is the same, I feel really disappointed you’ve skipped that

[@DIYwithMichaelBorders]

@@kubaSWAT We appreciate you sharing this.
