always have used impact driver, and I don't know a garage that doesn't do the same, but Thanks for the great comments👍🏻👍🏻🛠

aaanton11 impact drivers have a 1/4 hex drive, that’s an impact wrench I think m8.

If they make you feel uncomfortable how do you think I feel,🤪🤪I hate compressing springs I know my face isn’t the best but it would be far worse with a spring in it! thanks for the great comments👍🏻👍🏻🛠

I'm doing mine at the moment, yesterday the whole thing exploded in my face... One of the compressors missed the end of my nose by a hairs width and hit the roof of the garage. I'm taking them to a garage with a proper compressor to buy them back together. Wkimgbtk work this week 😂

They are cheap to buy new so I wouldn't go 2nd hand, and I would replace both but you don't have to, Link to Front Shock Absorbers on amazon, £74 amzn.to/2WaDk3h Thanks for the great comments👍🏻👍🏻🛠

@aaanton11 thanks so much, I have a BMW e90 and your videos are helping me so much! Appreciate the work

I don't disconnect the abs sensor, I remove it from the retaining rubber but it all stays connected. if you do disconnect it there will only be a fault if the ignition is turned on whilst disconnected. Thanks for the great comments👍🏻👍🏻🛠

@@aaanton11 ignition on, does that mean 2 turns of the key will show fault code ? or if engine running then it will show fault code.? Here is what happened the other night in the garden replacing the leg, you couldn't make this up, We had to leave bottom cover tray on due to jack access, Taken a lot longer than we thought, dam pinch bolt would not come out, tried air gun ,air gun and tapping other end at same time, tried ratchet, and tapping other end at same time, dam thing just kept spinning , had to be left in. I hit a metal wedge into the split gap to open it slightly to get the leg looser. A couple of other issues getting the leg out` then the dreaded temperature dropped rapidly from 17.30 pm could not feel toes and fingers that night, torch batteries went down, got extension and light, Extension to short while looking around for another , I then fell off 2 big steps, heard a load pop ` hit the floor landed on elbow and shoulder to protect my head , felt sick with shit load of pain ,went in the house , son applied cold press then bandaged the ankle. hobbled back out with walking stick we joined two extensions together, carried on with the job in hand while I guided him what to do. After another 3 dam hours, job a good one, finished 21.30 pm. yep , other issues with bolts ` freezing our dam knackers off that evening in the low minus, Hospital next morning , fractured ankle, now on crutches with a form fit boot fitted ,minimum 4-6-weeks in boot then many weeks trying to get ankle back to normal, But worth it, start a job finish the job, Here`s the funny part, we replaced the cars broken leg to end up braking mine, well ankle lol

that would normally be worn brake pads or discs, possible wheel bearing issue, Thanks for the great comments👍🏻👍🏻🛠
