I can honestly say i'm scared, but I'll do the job. The job isn't a burden to me, i'm excited to gain mechanical apptitude and enjoy working on cars, i'm just nervous.His cv drive axles are shot on his 2000 Nissan Altima. It's a straight forward repair, I'm doing it to save him money.

The shop charged 2x markup for the part, it costs $71, they wanted $143. I'm going to shop for tools tomorrow and get er done.

Any advice when working on someone's car?
