I haven't looked at the video. My guess is that it's a huge PITA. (almost any job on almost ever fwd car seems to be). At some point, I'll pay for convenience. but I won't pay the dealer. I don't trust any of them enough for that. I'm sure there are some that are at least competent and trustworthy, but I don't know which, and I'm not going to go looking. Finding a good independent is hard enough.
