I have a 10 lb Sledge with a 12-inch handle. Because of its mass you only have to take a small stroke to make the metal sing. Because it's the vibration that causes the separation of the parts. That comes from an auto mechanic who has been working on cars since 1963. And I love physics. Give it a try next time. Great video
If I ever need a really potent penetrating oil, I'll mix 50/50 acetone and ATF. The problem is how to store it, and the fact that acetone and plastic doesn't get along very well.
Yeah I’m no mechanic but did all the upper control arms, Sway bars, struts, and engine mounts. The lower control arms were a no go, took that straight to the shop before I was left stranded 😂
You don’t have to drop the subframe far at all the which ever side your taking off take off just that bracket and use a pry bar while getting the bolt out
@@BartSparrow123yes just do one side at a time this avoids locking the steering wheel down and taking off the steering shaft the only downside to this method you won’t be able to torque the bushing down to spec
@@diegosantos8324 I'm not worrying about taking the steering shaft loose, I have done that before and found if you use a grease pen to mark both sides of the shaft before you separate it, you don't even have to worry about keeping the steering wheel locked straight for reassembly. Thanks for the advice. I'm working on this today.
Ball joint press Amazon I paid 22 bucks. All of that banging was unnecessary bro. Just spin that ball joint press nut slow until that ball joint pops out
All that hammering to get it loose! This is why I'm soaking mine with PB Blaster all weekend and doing this on Monday!

The neighbors are pissed!🤣🤣🤣💀
Anyone got the BPM on the mallet strikes? 😂
about 240

Mine only got out with the ball joint bushing, I had to buy a new bushing, the old one was really stuck
Que marca es esa parte ?
what’s the name of the tool used to remove the knuckle bushing?
@ 4:40
Thanks for the video. I have tons of success with "Deep Creep" when i need a penetrating oil for auto work. Try that over wd-40.

Great job! 👍
Thanks dude !

It's not that bad, $20 for a tool and a $6 can of penetrating oil and you could have saved yourself $600.
Next challenge: Rearward front lower control arms, haven’t seen anyone complete that task with just jacks!

@@diegosantos8324 Thanks for the tip! So you didn't even need to lossen the front sub frame bolts up by the radiator or the exhaust hanger?

@@kj232009 Yes, that's exactly how it's supposed to work. If it doesn't, then the tool breaks.
He should have used the tool from the beginning.
Should have used an air chisel and had it out in like 2 seconds
I don't have an air hammer worthy of that task. I'm sure Eric O's "big nasty" would have taken care of it in no time.
@@jtandrews3 I just used a cheap one from harbor freight and worked fine
Is to much 150 foot pounds bro of frame back bolt do 😊
