The top screw?? You really take people for idiots! We can't see it and when we have access to it blindly the ratchet extension can't be straight! Making tutorials for mechanics with bridges and who have dismantled half the chassis for the photos is great HOWEVER USELESS FOR A GUY WHO'S STROLLING ON THE SIDEWALK 😡😡😡 idiots
well done
but not only a good jack and candles
Very good tutorial, well detailed.
Most of the work is done underneath the car, so make sure you have a good jack!
Thanks for the tutorial, it was a great help to me, especially to visualize this damn gear cable support. Work carried out on a c3 hdi 1.4. It's exactly the same thing.
Thank you very much, first intervention on a car carried out smoothly (4 hours at least, last screw the most complicated in my opinion). Which demonstrates the quality of the tutorial ;)
