I think that washer should have been put in between the two copper thrust washers as the manual states. He does make it look easy though. Thx.

You saw the part I wanted you to see I would have to give him a D for the whole presentation though.
It's one thing for a guy in his back yard to use a claw hammer and what ever he can scrounge for a punch but for a guy who is allegedly qualified to instruct people on how to work on their trucks to use a claw hammer and then misuse a tool that is intended to be in an air chisel and potentially mushrooming the end of it so it can't be used as designed is pretty sad when he is working in a shop that should have every correct tool known to man.
