Impressive video, precautions are taken.
Some tips that may make your life easier:
1/4" stubby torque wrench of clicker type with a 1/4" E torx socket for the valve cover bolts. Makes it much quicker.
Screw guns can be used if your extremely careful.
Dabs of superglue for cover side of gasket (if reusing cover) on the bolt areas, you can wack the cover on without too much worry if the gasket falls out.
I would avoid reusing the strut brace bolts.
Roll the boot lock, or have a power pack ready for reopening boot.
Torque the flange nuts for the fuel lines (standard guideline is reuse 3 times), avoiding shrinking the fuel line tapered connections.
Lol needed this walkthrough 6 months ago, I messed mine up. Tried to get away with only paying $160 for parts…
