Some may think of YouTube as just a silly video site to watch people make fools of themselves or watch babies' and cat’s dance to music. It’s also a valuable place to find help fixing stuff. I’ve found I learn quicker having a visual instruction rather than just out of a manual. Recently I’ve had to figure out how to change the wheel bearing hub's in my 2000 Chevrolet Impala. When I was given the four digit estimate by the garage I almost choked. Not being Bill Gates I thought of seeing if I could do this myself(or at least part of it) to save some cash so my family could eat. The one manual I had wasn’t very helpful though it explained it well enough it lacked pictures. I was kind of resigned to have to feel my way through the project. Then one night I thought why not see if someone’s done a video of it on the web. Sure enough I even found one with my exact car and with clear and easy to understand instructions. Why didn’t I think of this before? Not to mention The Bug Me Videos I have mentioned in previous posts. These are to two best videos I found on repairing my Impala by Rich Pin.
Now this project doesn’t seem as intimidating as they first seemed. Not only do I see it done I have an idea of what tools I need and what to expect at each step. I will certainly have these videos handy when I start this project.
