I watched the whole video. I don’t know why. I don’t have a car like that. But I didn’t see you using any Nutwax. 😊😂

If Ed can do it, then it must be easy! Good technique on removing those screws from the disc.
For those of you out there, sometimes the disc won't come off that easy with light taps. The more stubborn discs may require a bit more power behind the hammer hits. Just make sure to hit the disc between the studs and not the studs themselves! 🐺🔧

You called it cross because there are (2) types, but you knew both types, Philips and Japanese Industrial Standard. Why didn't you just say that this vehicle uses JIS and warn that using a Philips may strip out the fastener, j/k dude I enjoyed this video

Can’t get those bolts from the beginning man.
