Thank you for the very detailed and informative video,I just found a crack and small leak in my end tank on my 06 4runner sr5 v6 and I will be doing this work in my driveway as well probably this weekend and it’s refreshing having a real life video to use as a guide.Since I don’t have lifts or shop type environments as a lot of the videos.
