2011 Cadillac Escalade (2007-2014 GM Tahoe / Yukon) power seat tilt shaft replacement w/custom STEEL

the purpose of this series of vid clips isn't to walk someone through the literal process of how to physically unscrew, grease, cut, etc every part of this repair. to a degree, others on YT have shown that already and I relied upon those vids for this repair myself. but for the 2007-2014 GM style power seat forward and rearword tilt worm drive shaft replacements using Two Men One Garage ordered kits to rid my 2011 Escalade of that OEM nylon garbage, I used this to show the many hurdles and foibles one may encounter as this is a far more intricate repair than I anticipated and needs very specific parts and approaches to give someone the most success. Take that for what it is, as a tips/tricks help as opposed to a thorough step by step guide.
This project was ...daunting, to say the least. I've had a Much easier time working on engines sparingly than this which took Way too many of my hours to make right but is a a detailed, friction filled repair with restrictive work space.
At least for the driver's seat, I'll never have to do this again!

here's the Link to the part. front and rear are literally identical so doesn't matter if you order two fronts, two rears, etc. it takes 2 orders to complete 1 seat. tackle both front and rear at the same time. not worth only fixing a broken one then having to do the other half later on.

also HIGHLY recommend getting a wratcheting 90° screwdriver (micro driver as it's sometimes called) from Harbor Freight for this repair. it was frankly vital due to restricted space under the seat, leaving the cushion and frame attached. at the time of this posting it's a $3 part. I bought 2 of them, they're amazing period, let alone for the $$.
