So it's the wrong way round? 609 00:25:23,960 --> 00:25:24,960 Yeah. 610 00:25:25,040 --> 00:25:26,480 So instead of being a ten-minute job now with changing one... 611 00:25:26,560 --> 00:25:27,560 Right. 612 00:25:27,640 --> 00:25:29,320 The best bit is, they use a bigger one on the back. 613 00:25:29,400 --> 00:25:31,080 Oh, so you need two special tools? 614 00:25:31,160 --> 00:25:32,600 Yeah. 615 00:25:32,680 --> 00:25:34,880 Right.
