Don't use a torque wrench as a breaker bar. That will ruin your very expensive torque wrench.
I cringed every time he used his torque as a breaker bar....
Hell, Dont let that heavy caliper hang from the rubber hose. use a cord or wire to hold it, not the heavy caliper and pads. GEEE!!
Tke the upper ball joint nut loose first then hit the knuckle to pop the stud out of the knuckle .Then take lower loose then tie rod ends then axle nut and pull the knuckle with the hub off all together. Then press out the lower ball joint,
After losing my first ball joint i grased all grease cups all over with a needle injector from a grease gun. I love my lifted liberty.
I have the same 2007 LImited. Mine had noises while turning. for a hundreds miles until i noticed it. Dont drive with bad noises. Torque them back very well.
great video! trust me dude, add a 4 pound sledge hammer to your tool set to slam those suspension joints loose.
Watching you swing that baby Carpenter's claw handle was tough to watch.
What is the axle nut size??
36mm I believe.

bro you could have used the c clamp press pop that old pice out and just press new ball joint
My lower passenger just snapped going 100km, lost all control after front end hit the ground, slid into ditch, ripped out the axle, and the front fender, broke rim.
No tell it was bad, or getting bad. Just snapped.
Beef those babies up boys.
At a crawl the sound and clunking was terror, at speed, I don’t even want to imagine
2006 Jeep Liberty. My lower drivers side ball joint just snapped the other day. I've never seen that happen before. Luckily was going slow over RR tracks and pulled over immediately. Hate to think it would have happened on the interstate.
why you cut it off wow
Don't need a press beat it out then very carefully beat it back in even and on the edge....
The audio is unintelligible.
That sucks
Yea bro, it sucked.👎 But at least we got it sorted and fixed. 💪
