⚠ Attention! The mistake was made in the video at 10:18 minutes. The tightening torque is 80 Nm, not 40 Nm. We are sorry for the inconvenience.

The last video of t5 strut change was good..but this is even better.

Thank You

[armchairdude]

It was comforting to note that the hub to strut bolts were already at torque before torquing them.

[hanshans]

This was super useful, very clear - thank you!!!

[featherstonehobbies]

So the socket that spreads the hub so the shocker comes put easier what is the part number for that

[neilrutherford]

Much better video than the first attempt! However I always clean and regrease the thrust bearing it only takes 10 minutes, and will then be good for many thousands of miles.
As someone has already commented using a trolly jack and axle stands the job is a nightmare (I think that is an understatement).
Thanks for the video though. Anybody reading Haynes will be told to take off the caliper and disc and that's wrong.

Thanks.... Very helpfull ... But suggestion is to only hand tight I broke of the stud by overtightening

[paulthomson]

So simple when working on a high vehicle lift and with a transmission telescopic jack. I didn’t see these tools listed... try doing it on axle stands, it’s a nightmare.

Where would you find the part numbers for the rubber bumpers at each end of the bonnet / air chamber rubber seal?

Ain't nobody got time for wearing out wire brushes nor wantonly wasting gallons of precious WD40.
