Great video! I feel very motivated to say fewer bad words whilst undertaking extremely frustrating tasks
Haha! Glad to have made an impression my friend, and here's to keeping the joy alive!
I neeeeed this vibe when doing a more difficult job 😂
Wrenching should be fun and relaxing! I'm glad you liked it
Great video. Your a riot. I’ve done this before and am doing it again. The problem I find up here in NH. The universal kits at the store skip the correct size for de-installation. The nearest size is tight and i had to sand the inside of the tube and the outside of the MOOG ball joint hat. Until i had clearance. Took the joy out some.
Thank you and I hope your next project goes a lot smoother!
thanks for the video, I just replaces my front bearings and the ball joints are next. I'm beginning to think the bad ball joint could have effected the bearings, or maybe the other way around. Well 200 k on my 2007 Tacoma probably had a lot to do with it. lol.
They are great trucks, and yours is just getting broke in!
Saved 🛠️
hope your project goes smooth my friend!

Best mechanic Chanel I have ever seen. Love the theme too man. Makes me want to do all my own work on my truck. Thanks for having such a great attitude
Thank you so much, and that's my goal!
What flashlights are those
I use the braum ones from harbor freight
Cants you just hammer the bottom part of the Knuckle off if you don’t have a pickle fork that will work ?????
you can try it, but in my experience, and as I try to show here, they are stuck on so well, that only a tool like the pickle fork or ball joint separator can get them apart.
