Forward the video to 7 minutes and it will give you a simple breakdown of what is necessary to rebuild your torque tube.

That's the beauty of Youtube, don't have to watch what you don't like. But it does give some good insight to a torque tube rebuild. I hope your eyes are ok.

Not sure what is disturbing about a shirtless guy making a weekend instructional video. Gosh you sound so soft and easily offended.

This is the way forums work....you post stuff, and get a variety of replies. Apologies, I sometimes forget some of our forum members are on the softer easily triggered side. I'll be more considerate of your feelings in the future.
This is a safe space. No one is judging you for your preferences.
