You're worrying too much. Put the spirit-level away, and just do the job on flat, level ground. That will be good enough.
And if I was going to worry about it, the fillers are on the side of very shallow sumps, so the side-to-side angle is at least as important as front-to-back. The crown of the road outside my house is enough for my estate not to start when the fuel level is low.
Don't suppose the canister purge valve and rear multiram solenoid connections have got swapped? Or one of them swapped with the temperature sender? Wouldn't be the first time.
There's nothing particularly special about the tools. The bearing itself is easily done with the same tools used for a front wheel drive bearing(my set was about £40). A bit of ingenuity is required to extract the hub first; mine was cobbled together out of scrap in about 15minutes.ahh a man most definitely after my own heart .I doff my cap to you sir.
I've now done two, both in the street outside my house in about 3 hours each time. In a workshop, with the car on a lift and with airtools I would expect that to be under 2.
As said back to condiion immediately prior to damage - if to a better standard you will be charged the assessed "betterment" charge (eg if any panel had rust/damage not caused by incident)as I understand it,if the value of the car is less than the cost of repairs then its a write off.insurance only has to put you back in the financial position you were before the incident.ie if a car is worth £300 then their maximum liability is £300.would love to be proved wrong tho.
Just stand your ground, and threats of court action usually work in these circumstances. Immaterial if costs exceed cars value - you are entitled to have your car back in the condition it was pre accident, as it was not in any way your fault.
