      Absolutely, there is more than one way to skin a cat. Usually people require a short turn around time on these things however, and so as long as you're not hammering on the actual ball (like I've seen some 'professional mechanics' do) and only the housing then no damage will be done and you can turn the vehicle around in minimum time.

      Hi, I'm not too sure why yours is like. It's a common design on the VW vans but I have not seen it on a transit

      130Nm but please do your own research for variations in models etc.

    As someone with slight deafness due to working with noisey tools all my life, the music noise in the background makes it hard to hear you clearly

      Yes I realise that now and videos since have been without background music. Apologies for the sound quality on this one

    How comes he didn’t position drive shaft before before ball joint alignment.

      I'm sorry I don't really understand the question. The van is RWD so there is no driveshaft forward?
