    Yeah Dave, but you've had experience, know the clearances by heart and have the proper Freebisher wrenches. Consider the poor newbie.

    My truck is in the background of that video....right hand side of the screen at about the 1:04 mark.

    If you didn't notice, it was before the frame swap and big wheels.

    Hey gang - coming from Minnesota, there are always the Ole and Sven's tools that are needed to fix dang near anything mechanical.

    The "awwchit" wrench is the one that rounds a perfectly square bolt.
    The "disblows" brake line flush kit.
    The "Yeo-dat-hurts" hammer for losening brake parts.
    The "Grabda-wrongwrench" for those bolts that are under the car, in a tight spot, and the wrong size.
    The "Stupid stupid stupid" stud extractor that snaps off in the stud.
    The "GEEdats hot" thermal temperature probe (a.k.a. your burnt finger).
