Agreed.

That said, I find it pretty funny that that were important elements not stressed enough given the time he spent on other stuff. Things like:

- caution about lifting tires and potential injury to one's back
- breaking bolts loose before car is up in the air
- using only impact socket if using an impact wrench
- tightening in a star pattern
- going over bolts twice and/or retorquing after some driving
- the implications of dropping the car with the wheels hanging, which load the wheels at an odd angle, especially on vehicles with a lot of (soft) suspension travel.
