I watched this so you don't have to.
He shows you the "reverse Hi-Power" method of taking a 1911 apart, but never once explains why you should deviate from the Holy text of John Moses Browning (PBUH).
The proper, or GI, method of taking one apart relieves the recoil spring so you're not fighting it all the time.
The why, that he never mentions, is belled muzzles and extra tight barrel bushings. He thinks he explained it by showing how tight his was, but he didn't explain.
In my mind fighting the spring once is the way to go and moving the slide slightly to the rear to disengage the bushing and barrel from their fitted positions and then rotating the bushing is better.
Wait until you lock up the barrel link in the dust cover trying to put it back together his way and you'll see what I mean. Assuming you could get the gun back apart to try again.
