Thanks for these videos Steve. I think a new sticky should be started for videos. There are others including a tire change video as well as pictures and they need their own spot.

Good idea.  I'll work on that.  It won't be a sticky, though.  It will be in the FAQ board area.

There are already some vids and pics in that area, but these are not FAQ's they are information or lessons. If you want to know how something is done or how something works, I think another area would be good. Just throwing it out there.

Steve, your videos are excellent, and as somebody noted in your slipper clutch video, you are excellent at explaining. Thanks a lot for taking the time to do this and post the links here.
If I may, I have a suggestion for improvement: when you want to show a detail of some part, just make a picture really close up, a macro shot, even, and put it in the video when you edit it. That'd help a lot since it looks like your video camera has a limited amount of optical zoom, and when the digital zoom kicks in, the quality (read "detail") gets poorer. This happens in this video at 1:35, for example.
