DO NOT ATTEMPT THIS without an impact wrench. I spent way too much time and lots of frustration. This video took well over 100 hours to make and spanned October 2020 to December 2022 between filming and editing. I could do the whole job over again with my Popoman impact wrench in probably just a few hours.
THAT BEING SAID... this job was well worth the frustration. The car rides and handles like a brand new car. Comfortable and secure.
