That’s what I’m saying! Yesterday I was pressing out ball joints from a dodge. The fitment was STUPID right. Thought I was gonna blow up my ball joint press tool.
@@user-lq8mm2em2vwe use metric mostly except when it comes to lbs and foot lbs. What is a NM of torque? I don't know but I definitely know my foot lbs. Oh ya Horsepower sounds better than Kilowatts for an engine
This guy is smart, anytime you are going to work on something thats been there a long time spray the hell out of it with some kind of penetrating oil,it will make your job real smooth.
I didn't have a gun on mine. Enter a vic2, 1 meter breaker bar and a 2lb club hammer. Oh, and an ache wrist weeks later from the shock. Ironically my threads were spotless, but the flange rusts and breaking that was the hard part. Once it gave it spun out by hand.
Man I love that u put all the clips back idk if it’s just me but I’m starting to see mechanics get a lazier than b4 sum ppl would just throw it on and not indent or not bend a cotter pin in the right direction
They do not build them like this anymore! You have to replace the engine and transmission to get the same job done now, that's if not replacing the whole car, which is way easier!
I did one when I was 18 in the sand on delta 98 , I used the weight of the car to press it . Amazing what you can do when stranded and put mind to it , funny thing is 30 years later going through tools and we had all different size ball joint forks 🍴
You know you don't need a pickle fork or joint spreader, all you need is a good whack with a 32+ oz ball peen to get the ball joint stud out of the control arm. Dont waste money on fancy tools!
It's great to use the gun to get those things out, but they should be done up to a specified torque with a torque wrench. If they are done up with the gun the next guy will really struggle.
In reality there was absolutely nothing wrong with that ball joint. 15 years of being a dealer tech I have not EVER replaced or seen any other tech ever replace those. Ever.
I seen a bunch of mechanical videos and the most common mistakes are not being clean jobs! Mechanics don't even bother cleaning the rust or anything just like this one.
You didn't torque the ball joint.. you have some balls showing up on the Internet and showing how actual mechanics work. People working office jobs giving repair advice don't approve 🤣😂🤣😂
When you reattaching the arm to the ball joint, you should never use an impact gun That’s a good way to overtighten it and squash, the rubber bushing therefore rendering the ball joint trash
@@bluecollarnobody4217 I have no objection to that. But after working for 20 years, I somehow understand what I'm doing. So many people with so many opinions!
So have 4 way stop signs but two is only needed if the two are experienced drivers right same principle, if you do enough repairs for years your guesstimate is usually spot on or close enough
Пежо/ситроен "креатив техноложн". Самое интересное как всегда не показали, а именно как освободить шаровую из рычага, все дело в том, что из-за конструкции сайлентблоков рычаг очень сложно отогнуть вниз, и этого не хватает для того чтобы вытащить его из шаровой! Лом в помощь)))
