Features:

Bead breaker, a bit of angle

Ring fastening, a socket to get more leverage

Inflation safety, bars in wheel to stop or at least limit a ring blow off.

She is still as clean at the finish as when she started.

All good, but for the cement blocks as packing.

But did it work?

Never ending rabbit hole if we pursue the "If the Queen had balls she would be King" path. Depends on your personal risk threshold. There are times when every one of us would trade existing management for her even if for a short time to get a job done.

Absolutely a complete FAKE!
Truck had ostensibly been driving through mud, yet underside of truck is quite clean.
Mud on outer of truck clearly applied by hand, especially the bumper.
That tyre would be full of mud, but is also very clean.
Mud on outer sidewalls of tyres, but none on inner sidewalls.

Be it firearms or V8 engines, the question is not "why should you have them?"
, but "who are you to demand that I justify them?"

It is set up to show the girl doing her stuff. The tyre was a reject cut with an angle grinder and the bit at the start was an act to tell a story but I am still sure the girl did her stuff. You can see how she handles the tools that she is not just some bimbo influencer being directed by her boyfriend.

Maybe her job application video to work at Bob Jane?

Hi,

if we are picking on the authenticity of the clip, and all the rest of 'Genius Girl' then you see the driver leave with his tyre repaired near the end but in the scene where she is shutting the last door on the workshop at 10:10 the same truck is parked in the background.

And even just smart she would have undone the wheel nuts while the wheel was still on the ground.

They made a movie with semi-professional editing and set up shots maybe with the aim of showing a step by step how-to clip.  Still does not take away from her in my mind. Nobody would watch a jumpy badly lit and focused phone camera following some grubby bloke changing a truck tyre in real time - there are a million of these on the web if you want to restrict your viewing

The Doco God David Attenborough produced closeups not revealing animals were really in a zoo or fish in a pool. Walt Disney was caught in a nature doco tipping Lemmings out the back of a truck and claiming they were jumping to their death (which they don't do anyway). Nobody can produce a coherent story without editing. Australia's most famous photographer Frank Hurley was almost sacked as a battlefield camera-man in WW1 because he produced some of the most well known pictures of the war by doing composites. As he explained, with cameras of the era it was impossible to capture the drama of a battlefield with one photo. His photos taken over a long period from the same spot combining troops charging forward overlaid by huge artillery explosions, overlaid by low flying aircraft are so good you can almost hear the noise.

It is not a university power point it is entertainment. Everybody can now make movies and compete with the professionals in artistic editing. If you choose to believe or not is up to you. If you say to me Roy Rogers could not shoot 17 Indians at full gallop with his 6 shot pistol I will destroy your argument with the historic video of  "Badlands Trails" where it is all caught on film. The camera never lies.

Just as an aside I wonder how many blokes critical of not loosening the nuts before jacking would have initially swung the bar the wrong way and more likely than not jumped up and down a few times not knowing they were left hand threads? Done it myself a couple of times.

I liked how the hardware store colour matched the paint to her top.

Lang, her work ethic alone would have made her a welcome addition in any of the workshops I ran, but I doubt I would have much productivity from the blokes with her about. Unless they were trying to impress her.
