[Shotimes] Front Strut R&R

[Carl Prochilo]

It's so funny to see you say that it takes only 20 minutes to do this job.
 Sure you're not in sales, George???

I'm going on 5 days with a lot of down time to get tools that I was
missing, and lack of technique to remove things like stuck tie-rods and
difficult retaining nuts.  And of course I do my regular job too.

I suppose if I were to net out all that time I might get 20 minutes... 
NAH!!!
