Good video Jim. I would suggest only one thing, if you can get a volunteer to be the camera operator, and pick up a good microphone so we can hear you no mater how far away you are, one that clips on your collar. (A lavalier mic) I am in the Adirondacks, Upstate, New York. Where are you from? This is my second video of yours, just found you a few min ago on here.
Well done Jim. I service a late model Kia van and in the spring I was at the cottage so the van owner had another guy take his snows off and put the summers on. Ha – well every one of the wheel studs are stripped , just chowdered. The spec on this van is around 70 ft/ lbs max. and even at that with my torque wrench it feels like it's about to strip. He took it to the dealer and was quoted $400 to change out the studs. He did bring it to me after the price shock and the story Ha- I tried one nut and it just spins on the threads in reverse , never seen this before and told him to go back to buddy that rotated his tires for him for $5 less than me. LOL.

Nice video Jim..You made it look easy enough for even me to do..Much appreciated…
Hello, you don't need to align the car afterwards?
does unbolting the strut affect the front ends alignment? do you need a front end alignment after doing the axle?
do you have to replace the transmission fluid that is lost and if so where does it go?
Do you have a video on how to replace the seal once you removed the axle, if anyone has any links to this i would greatly appreciate it.
Thank you Jim.

Another well done video, Jim. I seldom torque the strut bolts but I always torque the axle nut.
