5 stars for the video only one I could find that actually helped me..but had to add you forgot to mention your supposed to torque all the nuts to the qualified specifications including hub and lug nuts 🤣🤣
Doing the exact same thing right now and way beyond pissed off thank u sir for this video helped me out quite a bit thanks for the good content I will subscribe because of this
Had the same issue on a trailblazer with the first kit on the lower ball joint. I just used my chisels and pushed the edges up really well and hit that sucker with a 5lb hammer 3 times and she was out
What did you do to remove those tabs at the top of the ball joint that keeps it from falling straight out? I've seen people say chisel them flat or grind out the tabs but so far neither have worked for me. Any suggestions on how you got yours out so easy?
@@spellman1989 If your parts have rust on them, try grabbing a wire brush, clean that area nicely and repeat those steps. Rust can cause the parts to bind together
I know you mean well, but you are not evaluating worn joints correctly. Old joints will always move easily. You must see if there is play side to side or front to back.
Well done champ. That is exactly what i wanted to see. Keep them vidoes coming!
I like the way you do step by step. Very well done. Now I could do the ball joint on mine! Thank you.
You don't have to take the brake caliper off if you disconnect the upper ball joint. I'm in the process of replacing the whole front suspension.
Well done great video !!!

Thank you sir for your instructions.
If you thread the nut on till its flush with the end of the bolt you can hit it without damaging the threads
