👍it's been many years since I have done one of these, on a 150. I needed a refresher also. I have to replace my spindle on my 2006 f250 2×4. This van is the exact setup. I almost gave up in the search, most vids are for 4×4's . I almost didn't click on this one, but I'm sure I'm sure glad I did. This is the best audio and video step by step dyi on youtube..
Glad it helped you out Elad. Good luck with the fix!
It's a professional way to expect
Enjoyed this one mate 👍 I don’t work a lot on trucks interesting to see the set up ... looking forward to part 2 👍
I appreciate you Igor, thanks for stopping by. Part 2 will be posted later today.
Ozzstar's Cars cool 😎👍👍👍
Never seen a mechanic wearing a button up shirt! You must have been getting dressed up for Valentine’s day dinner with Mrs. Ozz! 💘
Just a Tip- PB Blaster drives women wild 💖
Rusty you know what it's like to be a ladies man! 😀
Glen, loved the brake pad for a light perch...
Shhhhhh, that's the subject of a sneak peek of a video I have coming out soon. Thanks 👍
Always worth the watch! Making ford vans great again. I was such a Big fan of those conversion And custom vans back in the 70s 80s
I think those were called the shaggin wagon's or something like that. haha The more plush the carpet was the more attractive the owner seemed. haha Right Terry?
Thanks
Great job Glen! I don't think I'd like to be wrestling with that beast lol I'm too small 🙈😂😂
Ohhh come on Niamh. A strong women like you can take on twice that battle! 👍😃
Great step-by-step Glen and you did a great job in.breaking it all down. Looking forward to part 2. Have a.great weekend! 😀
Busting out another one for the road! Thanks Terry
I've never tried a ball joint press without using the impact , dont think I'd want to either 🤣🤣
Sometimes theres no space to use the impact on the press... yes it sucks lol
Steve you have three times the energy of anyone on UA-cam, my money is one you to get it done manually.
nice work ! I hope you had a jack stand under that bad boy lol
Always use a safety stand. 👍👍
Great job big help.
You're welcome Ben
Excellent job to remove it's so easy because i used aire hammer maybe in 5 minutes to put back on it's so hard but any way good job
Thanks
Damnit, part 2 is private
Part 2 coming out today, free admission too. 😂😂😂
I have that same breaker bar. Harbor Fright! 😁 Have you had to weld yours yet? I've done mine, twice, right where the square drive is bolted in - both sides. 😂 Served me well for over 15 years so far, though!
Nice work, Glen! 👍🍻I always hated 1-ton front end work. Everything's too heavy for this out-of-shape weakling. 😁
Hey Smitty! The breaker bar was a gift from my dad many years ago, not sure where it came from. It's strong and tough and never had a problem with it breaking. Hmmmm, maybe mine is defective? Shouldn't a breaker bar break??? haha
@@ozzstars_cars - LOL!! Well that theory proved true with mine! TWICE! 😂🤣😂
Cool, that's a great gift! Got to have one in the toolbox anywhere north (or east 😁 ) of the Mason-Dixon. 👍
Stubborn...
I'm taking the tire off, the break assembly off, the tie rod end,
NOT TAKING THE ROTOR OFF ,
going to use that extra weight with spindle , to pop the BALL JOINTS ,
SAW SOMEONE ELSE DO THAT
hey glen... yea did that job a few times the 4x4 is a bit more the ball joints have to align when reinstalling unless the knuckle is tight hope you used moog oem or napa not a sponsor! hey is that an astro press? I have the bearing r and r kit and its been working good!
Yeah no axle to yank makes things easier in this case. That 4x4 hub vacuum seal is pricey. Do you use the specialty tool to drive it in? Part two shows what brand a hack like me prefers to use for suspension parts. haha 😬😃 Stay tuned.
Opening pics reveal a crack at the base of the lower steering knuckle? (Please forgive any inaccurate terminology) If correct, shouldn't this be addressed? Sorry, if my perception is flawed or I am making a mountain out of a molehill. Otherwise, kudos to you for an excellent how-to video. Thanks.
You are probably looking at the mold casting, there is no crack.
Nice job Glenn I feel your pain with the rust and 5lb hammer. The link for part 2 is private so couldn’t finish it.... Jay
Thanks for stopping by Jay. Yup part two will be out sometime today.
Ooh 1st
Nice, somebody has to be. At least I hope so. lol
Very nicely displayed. Did you use cuss words like I did when I did my Chevy one ton? It helps somehow.
Done this so many times no cursing necessary for the most part. haha😃
Great video! Good video quality and easy to follow.
Thanks David, appreciate your comment.
I have a 02 super duty 250 4x4. Is there any way you can do a video on a ball joint replacement on that type ???? I can use it
If a 4x4 came to me for service I would. The foreplay is always fun yanking out that front axle and everything else that goes along with it. 😃
I think I'm gonna put tape over the forward setting on the impact. I hadn't thought about just how much trouble that could get you in!
I was having a bad air gun day. haha
He sounds like Kenny powers.
Me or Mr. Goodyear?
@@ozzstars_cars you
@@leroyjenkins9623 I'm flattered, I think.
“If in doubt give her a clout”
I’ve a set of these to do on my own Land Rover at least on the van the knuckles are on the spindle you can remove, they’re on the welded axle tubes on those 😒 hate them.
Enjoyed the video none of those plastic cars 😜
Yeah man real machines are made of heavy iron and steel. 👍
Pickel fork one of these do hickies lmfao
You made his job way harder than it has to be. Always, always, always take front suspension work to the shop. Sooooo much easier.
😂😂😂
16:05 Iexpedite1 - about here I had the confidence to not do this myself and pay the local shop. Here in NY when you hit stuff with a hammer it just disengrates from the salt and rust. It turns from a simple repair to pure replacement and continues until you reach solid metal parts.
