I love it how all the rear suspension stuff just came off with no problems whatsoever. trailing arms, shock mounts, cross member... everything just fell apart. They either have the best luck in the world or they did some heavy editing.

Lets have a "real world" version where we get to see greasy hands with bloody knuckles, broken Sawzall blades and various ineffective tools littering the garage floor, 
the tech running blindly to the deepsink to flush PB Blaster out of his eyes 
while his partner is laughing his a$$ off 
and spilling beer. Yeah....thats more like real world. In fact, when I did mine is was like WAR....and war, ladies and gentlemen, is HELL!!

I missed it yesterday - have to catch it today.
Do you think that those guys actually do their own wrench work to get everything ready for the show. I doubt it
They probably have a crew that gets to experience the actual teardown and then those guys come in for the glory without getting and grease on their hands
