- This is a long video since I ended up having a few videos to edit and then put them together. I don't want to spread them over several videos but at least you can see most of what it took for me to get this done.
Thanks! Was good to see an extended video with all the work in between the steps.
Thanks. Yeah I like to see the whole process on things myself. Too many videos make things seem too easy.
how did you get the stud to finally go in? i can’t get it in
Thanks man, good ole no data didn’t have labor time on this
quite an easy job tbh i didnt even remove the tie rod end. tied the knuckle and just pressed it in 30mins tbf though i had a hoist
thanks for the video. btw hoped you torqued the axle nut I have the same gun does about 150ftlbs axle nut is 175 - 202 ftlbs
Thanks. Yes I did. I usually torque by hand not with the impact. You're right it looks like you may have more room from the bottom. I wanted to check the play on that tie rod.
Do you absolutely have to remove the CV axle to replace the ball joint?
Yes, you need the space under the axle to place the press.
Yesterday after watching this video I was able to press the drivers lower ball joint from a cx3 without removing the axle. I did loosen the nut for some wiggle room but I didn’t remove it.
Nice work
Thanks.
Why didn't you buy a whole new arm with the ball joint installed?
Everything else was fine.
And it’s cheaper
