+ProtectionDirect It really doesnt need to be that tight. It just has to be
tight enough so that the rubber expands to the edge of the washer (as I
showed in the video). If you got that rubber expanded, then you are good to
go!

+paddy perez Usted es bienvenido! Gracias por el “gritar” de Colombia
usted! Me alegra que mi “cómo” videos son útil e instructiva. Manténgase en
sintonía para muchos más.

+Aaron Sargent for some reason I cannot reply to your comment but I hope
you see this. I have no particular kit that I like because most of them try
to maximize the number of “pieces” and it is useless stuff like a bunch of
different screwdriver bits. I need to make a video on my tool box. I
basically started with smaller different tool sets and combined them. If I
were you I would get a good set of wrenches in both metric and in sae. Most
common size nuts and bolts is 8mm through 18mm and get the same range for
SAE. Then, get a 1/4in ratchet, 3/8in ratchet, and 1/2in ratchet and a lot
of sockets. They make long sockets and short ones. Also, get a long breaker
bar (This is a MUST). A breaker bar will save you from so much frustration.
When I first started, I didnt even know about a breaker bar and I slipped
old pipe over the wrench lol. Then you can look for other basics that you
might want like screw drivers, hammers, and specialized tools that you
think will be useful. To start off, I would go to Harbor Freight because
their prices are really cheap and for hand tools, they really are not that
bad (lifetime warranty is a plus). I will make a video on my tool box in a
few weeks. Let me know if you have any other questions. Oh, and if you
really want a kit to start off, harbor freight has a pretty decent
mechanics kit that wont break the bank. Check it out.

local tire discounters and the estimated me for all around shocks for
$650!!! I’m deffinatly doing it myself now.

ptrhip says:

my bottom bolts for the shocks are so rusted they snap with very little
effort how do i get them out? any special tools or do i gotta drill them
out

Nalu Rash says:

Oh, I had a question that doesn’t pertain to this video. Is there a cabin
air filter on the ford ranger, mazada b3000? I heard there is none, but you
can buy the cabin air filter online. Anyway, thanks for the videos

jeremy says:

I’m the one that asked why you weren’t making any videos and you said you
were going to get on that after you did the whole front end

zx8401ztv says:

Smashing job chris :-))

So nice to have new parts, it does show up the rusty bits though lol, it
would make me want to use rust killer and a large tin of black paint+brush
lol.

For people that dont have a torque wrench, what indication can we use, a
clenched mouth and medium pitched grunt while showing teeth…. just being
daft :-))

Jason Bilow says:

Great video! Just got home with my new shocks for my 01 edge. I went with
Rancho rs5000. Did the rears a couple weeks ago, those were so easy. Since
I bought this truck your videos have helped alot :)

Nalu Rash says:

Hey man I love your videos! You’ve saved me a ton of money. Thank you so
much!

jeremy says:

Hey Chris,, you showed us how to lift our truck for free and said some
worry about doing that due to something. Is this why you having to replace
all this stuff on the Mazda… lol I’m just pulling your leg but seriously
wondering,,, so I don’t make the lift if so.. this is john by the way and
that’s my middle name quick was on my profile. But its Jeremy … thanks
for this video I do need to replace my shocks. On that little b2600i I just
bought… God bless brother.

Matthew Poole says:

I bet she rides a lot nicer now with both shocks replaced! i swear you
build confidence in my self to do more work on my own car. 

ProtectionDirect says:

Just did this today. Had a hell of a time getting the top tight. First
sideI used a wrench under the mount. However, on the SensaTracs the spot
to put the wrench is very thin and it pinched the wrench in when tight. On
the other side I held the top cylinder by hand but didn’t feel like I got
the top nut tight enough.
