When you mentioned a half sized metric socket to remove the lug nuts having that useless shiny metal wrap i remember my son and working on his car few months ago where we live 25 miles away from town and couldnt change his blown tire. Couldnt force any lug wrench or socket to work and used a small cold chisel to get the last 2 lug nuts off. As soon as your mentioned that socket set i had to look it up. Im ordering a set to have for my kids and grandkids cars cuz i know its gonna happen again. Now i will have to rewatch the video cuz you talk faster than an old fart can search. Thanks you taught and old dog something new or made him aware of a solution.

What You actually used a torque wrench! Not the calibrated elbow! Sorry to be soooo cynical. But you do good work mister. I know a few mechanics who don't know/understand about getting vehicle to standard ride height before tightening bolts which secure encapsulated rubber bushings. And then they wonder why the bushes chop out in a short time. Well done. Retired mechanic in Land Down Under.

After changing the front brakes on my 17 Cherokee today I now see why you have the Arthritis. They used the red loctite in the star headed bolts (uses the E sockets) holding te caliper bracket to the knuckle, and man were those tough to break loose when sitting on the ground in my driveway.

Coming from someone who lives in Iowa, I'm jealous of those pinch welds. Seems like every vehicle that I see come in, they turn to dust as soon as the lift hits them.
Also, does anybody immediately pause a video and add tools to their cards as soon as he mentions them Never knew these existed.

very fast and very precise! made it look easy (but don't try this at home unless you know what you are doing and have the right stuff--tools and data. and, yes, still got alignment. SMA is like the GM whisperer, able to keep these on the road and running safe.

The driver side usually gets more sag than the passenger side, in this case the passenger side spring broke why wouldn't the owner have the driver side replaced as well (to save money) Would you suggest to replace both springs

Retired farmer here. I love my auto lift in the shop but it takes me about 20 times to get all four corners of the lift where I want them. And I don't get up from my knees too easy anymore.

Man everything looked almost new under there. The bolt came out like nobodies business. How is it that the springs broke in the first place Because it's a Chevy Is there a recall.

The intro was a very nice touch. Coupled with the wifey banter and Luna for the Segway. Love it. I'm looking forward to seeing you hit the 1M mark. Oh, and you do make it look easy.

That 2016 Impala is on the Epsilon II platform. I think the other (called the Impala Limited) is on the old W-body. I think they made them both in 2016. GREAT VIDEO!

110 lb/f of torque on the side with the camera. We are going to need both sides video tapes or we will have to report you to the Peoples Republic of New York!
