    Excellent guide, well done. Others on youtube have shown this job and the way they did it was to remove the stopper at the end which also involves removing the plastic step cover. I thought that seemed unnecessary and after watching your video I can see it was, the new roller can be inserted from the front of the rail. Top job!

    • @UrbanVanlife
      @UrbanVanlife  4 роки тому +1

      it might depend on the year an model bud , im not sure to be honest i know they changed a good few things from year to year and some of the things they changed seemed to be for no reason but to make repairs awkward , but i dont know , iv changed mine a few times now and thats how i have done it every time , thanks for watching mate glad it helped

    So this video is pretty epic, so I decided I’d give you a bit of a comment, so I am 😇 haha but all jokes aside, that roller had seen better days. Nice easy job. I think the rust makes it look spookier than it really is to do. Liking the little tweaks you’ve done to the animations and your intro too 😎 good stuff! ⭐️
