You can also place the ball joint in the freezer before installing, that will help the ball joint shrink a little before install
You make it look simple. Thank you for the help.
After using an impact driver to remove the phillips head screws from the rotors of my son's Civic, we donated them to the trash can.
Yes. This tool does the trick every single time without stripping the fasteners: ua-cam.com/video/xSB9j2EhgoQ/v-deo.html
Thanks a lot. You're explaining all the details of the tools and tips on each step. Very informative. Very helpful.
Glad it was helpful!
Good job I been doing this process several times . I love Hondas 😅
Great Video. I follow for your work. 👍🏻
Exelent video..! Explain all details on the must import part which is the ball joint removing and replacing ..!
Awesome very informative.
Good job saving this
great video , thanks for sharing .
You did all the operations by the book and I like it, one question please for a detail I have a doubt, is it a good idea to lubricate the ball joint before slide it into the knuckle? I know that will help to slide easier but also would that be a concern and be prone to escape from the knuckle after installing especially for those ball joints that come without a snap ring? Thank you
Best tutorial ever not like the trq channel who cut the video cause he messed up and all of a sudden he installed a new assembly without mentioning why he got a new one lol
All of their videos are complete garbage
Thanks so much, I did the lower control arm too and took me a full day due to that stubborn ball joint. I have more tools now 😂
Glad it helped
Man, that's one rust free car you worked on. Good video.
Nice what brand ball joints did you use?
What did you do about the sleeve you pulled out of the lower control arm with the ball joint?
what brand ball joint press u use i need to know thanks
I notice the input shaft is smaller on the new on then on thee old one that is a bit thicker si you. Just install the new one and it played and just torqued it down. ?
Do I need to remove the ring that sits in the knuckle? Does it impede the installation of the new ball joint?
Would you let me know what kind of balljoint install kit? My car is 2002 acura tl type s.
Avoid MOOG in 2023. They are outsourced built in 16 different countries depending on the cheapest contract bidding.
The one you took off was bigger than the one you put on? Did you add anything or does it not matter?
I've seen other videos where they cut the ball joint with a cut off wheel and pound on it that way
Just FYI, you can also use the ball joint tool to remove the ball joint as well
does anyone know what ball joint press for accord 2013?
So you didn’t use any of the two adapter?
Can you do one for the bushings on lower control arm for that Acura tl? It would be nice to see how you change those out with hand tools.
Its more logical to just buy the whole assembly instead of replacing the compliance bushings. I bought two new LCA's from Rock Auto. I think it was 75$ each. Eric the Car guy has a video on changing out compliance bushings on this car. Its a bitch even with all the professional tools he has. After finishing the job he even said, "its not worth the hassle. Just buy the LCA assembly."
The job of replacing the LCA's is tough enough. lol I bought Beck Arnley ones on Rock Auto. They work great. High quality. Could be OEM. Beck Arnley I mean. The bushing closest to the front of the car was horribly ripped. Im assuming you have same issue. Hope i assisted you in some way. I just had to say something cause Ive been down that rabbit hole. lol
@@alexandercahoulan6583 the non oem bushings do not last long
Many people said less than a year or two on the TLs with non oems.
Good question. Alexander is correct. It's not worth the time and energy. You can simply purchase a new part at an affordable price.
Hey brother I have a 2021 honda accord lx and it has a bolt on lower ball joint with 3 bolts can I do that 1 on the car without removing the knuckle. It doesn't have a upper ball joint the lower 1 is attached by 3 bolts to the lower control arm and has a castle nut on the top
Yes those are easy
You forgot torque spec on upper control arm. Thanks
So dealer said on my repair sheet for 2014 honda accord ( both front lower ball joint boot splits ) so what acutal part do i need
Once the boot splits you might as well replace LBJ as it got contaminated by outside dirt and moisture.
I have a question what was the car doing that you had to change the ball joint ?
20 yo car?
What size is the axle nut
36mm
He’s talking like his wife is watching him do it 😂
That's the lower ball joint. What about the upper one at the top of the upper control arm?
Buy a new control arm
Lol... it just unbolts with 2 bolts.
Can't always buy new. Not available or just plane expensive.
Wait a min its videos showing you dont have to remove the upper arm
Such a bad design to have a ball joint installed on the knuckle. It would be much easier to install if it is on the control arm.
By the way , the gloves are sucks, they break quickly even they’re $$$
I tend not to wear them in the summertime simply for that reason.
Looks so damn easy. I wonder if it is my tool kit. I aligned it evenly and hand tighten. Then tighten with ratched and breaker bar fairly far in. Still evently align. Slowly go in with the impact and it becomes uneven.
I’m on the same page
I didn’t see you torch the upper ball joint? What is the torch please. Thanks
