    My wife bought my daughter a used 2001 Chrysler Sebring Sedan. I have already spent more fixing it than she paid for it. A HUGE THANK YOU for the videos. You have already saved me a few hundred dollars. Unfortunately I wasn't agile or patient enough to get to the blend door actuator, that ran me $830.00 at the dealership. Of course that saved me that much in visits to the chiropractor and the pain medication

Years ago i was air chiselling something and a very small piece of metal came off the chisel and struck me in the face. It bleed a lot,but one minute later it felt like someone punched me in the face. I had safety glasses on,but now i use a full face shield whenever i use the air chisel now. Safety first,not last. :)

    Great video, thanks Eric. I usually give the new ball joints a toot of penetrating oil before I install to help it walk easier into the knuckle. I know this sounds dumb, but you really should be wearing safety glasses (and ear muffs) when using Big Nasty. I had a friend get a air chisel bit chip in one of his eyes and lost vision. Your career, wife and kids will thank you. Be safe, not sorry!
