No need for a c clamp, those two holes in the caliper can be used for a pry bar/screw driver and you can depress the pistons that way, also no need to bend the caliper hardware, the caliper will come out, pry the top out first then the bottom. One last thing, hammering in the ball joints is a clue that your yokes are worn, there's no way you should be able to just hammer them in, they must be pressed in or your axle yokes are worn, in that case you should use over sized ball joints, good job none the less. I didn't realize the video was older, point still stands though.
They were tight going back in. My videos aren't scripted so I forget to mention stuff sometimes. In this case the lower ball joint was pressed in, I mean think about it. I would have to no room to use a hammer from below to hammer the lower ball joint in. Nice catch though.
@Grumpy's Diy & Off Grid Are you the only one entitled to an opinion ? 2 months ago these are your words EASY JUST TOOL A WHILE not to be rude but easy if theirs no rust wasn't for you to think your my boss lol or father. I'm just sharing my opinion and if you don't like it than maybe you shouldn't have a youtube channel difference between me and you is I'm up front with people I don't lie . These jobs can be tough don't mislead people who don't know how to do this work . I do this for a living I shouldn't have to explain that to you either, but since you wanted to give your slick opinion I responded . Anyways thanks man
Pretty easy job, just took a while.

Hey even though you hammered balljoints out new ones should be more than snug going in.

Those peacocks are called zerk fittings or grease fittings
Awesome
Can’t seem to find a rwd.
I don't understand the statement.
Eazy if theirs no rust
It’s also easier if it’s a brand new truck, but complaining about it is not gonna get the part changed.
