you crack me up! "it's really boring". it s not bad if you skip ahead to get to the important parts, I am not sure it was really necessary to show how you remove the lug nuts for example. If you edit it some, and perhaps do a voice over of the steps it could be shown in perhaps 8 to 10 min or less. As I stated above, I have not found it necessary to remove the brake caliper or the steering tie-rod. Good effort.

its cracked up quite a bit
Love those Tercell 4x4 wagons but they sure suffer from road noise.

check around on windshield prices, many of the mobile glass repair guys would do it for well under $200. I just got a quote for about $160 for a Tercel windshield from an ad off Craig's list. I had the Corolla all-trac tinted windshield replaced for only $178 by one of the independent mobile glass repair guys (he was a Ukrainian immigrant, he did a great job) about 2 years ago.

Unfortunately I do not have the time or talent to edit such a video. I know there are different variations of methods to remove the half-shafts. I just did it the way I thought best. If someone else would like to edit the video. I could e-mail the files. I just don't have the time right now.
