good tutorial certainly, but stop making believe that it is within the reach of the first comer, it is exaggerating! the constraints are numerous it requires a minimum of knowledge, it requires good equipment, because the parts are heavy, it requires strength, the tightening torques are relatively high, so if you are not a good handyman, be careful!

Good evening! The tutorial is well done, of course, but it is not within the reach of the first comer, firstly you need to have good equipment, because the parts are heavy, the tightening of the parts is relatively high, the cardan weighs 7 kilos! The bearing kit is not light either, for a handyman it is not an insurmountable obstacle, but for a neophyte be careful. If you are not sure of yourself, it is better not to put your finger in it!

Too bad there are no tightening torques for the various screws. Especially those of the bearing.
