When working on cars, trucks, doesn’t matter if you only changing or
rotating the tires: You should always wear gloves to protect your hands
from harmful chemicals such as grease, motor oil, transmission and brake
fluid, dirt, dust, rust and so on. that way you won’t get skin cancer

hi,i’d like to know if you know anything about replacing shock fasteners
bolts when you replace the rear shocks on a 2006 chevy cobalt. alldata said
you should use new one’s when replacing the shock’s…thanks

n3rdbear says:

I got that learned, now I just need to learn how to replace the coil
springs. Man those are gonna be a bitch to do.

J Adisa says:

Superb video. Thanks!

Richie2k6 says:

1:08 – 1:11 hahaha

Phillip Enow says:

I like how he references how he has the arm strength equivalent to a floor
jack.. =)

macbug says:

Well done, well edited, script is short and concise. Quick and easy
instructions, the one point I would make is safely jacking up and blocking
the vehicle or maybe refers to an earlier segment on how to do so. You do
not want the vehicle falling on you when working on it. I have seen people
use a bumper jack on an incline to work on their car. VERY dangerous, but
they did not know any better. Again good job on shock install.

tools that i found made the job easier: rubber mallet, long prybar,
all-purpose chassis grease, crowfoot attachments for my ratchet.

install ? my car is camry 94.

cslix says:

wow looks easy enough.. good video im actually thinking of ordering shocks
and just doing it my self 🙂

Danger555 says:

Thanks a lot for the demonstration! I had no idea how difficult it would be
to replace my shocks, and this video demonstrated some unforeseen issues I
might encounter, like the rotating shock when tightening the nut. This
looks like a great way to save some money!

FuyGawkes says:

Excellent presentation. Is it me or his voice looks very similar to
daneboe’s?

oljohnboy says:

Your videos are great. You are very clear and camera work is great. Thanks
for all your contributions! John

Thanks a millions

kvasir40 says:

From the many clips I have watched on youtube in an attempt to learn to do
some repairs in my own car, I have found your videos to be of excellent
quality and superb content. Thank you for taking the time to do them and
share them with the community. You have saved, at least to me, some good
money just with this one.

AverageGamezzz says:

through this part and idk what its called

maxixe says:
