Common MistakeStandard

Rushing progression causes setbacks — patience builds lasting skill.

  • Reference Photos

    Take photos at each stage to track progress and troubleshoot if results differ from expectations.

  • Dimensional Accuracy

    Use calipers or precision measuring tools rather than estimating by eye for critical dimensions.

  • Safety First

    Stop immediately if conditions become unsafe — no project is worth a trip to the emergency room.

Safety Notes

  • Always use jack stands when working under a vehicle — hydraulic jacks can fail.
  • Disconnect the battery negative terminal before electrical work.
