Being an Aircraft Mechanic in the USAF got me real good at removing cotter pins. Bend the legs as flat as you can and then grab the head with the curbed needle nose and pry it out slowly. Try removing one upside down in a place where you could barely see and reach. Oh and you can't drop it or else you'll have to find it and if you don't the jet gets impounded and the shift supervisor will have your ass because now you'll have to stay there all day long. Good times :)
nice video. Kudos for not editing the split ring error out . I like that when folks show the errors. Got to say made a few my self .Put a light truck diff in arse upwards once it had 5 reverse gears and one forward . I was ragged for months Still feel daft now truth be known 25 years later . Didn't cock up again though . Young dumb full of the you know what . I was way to cocky and the rest of the lads reminded me at every opportunity rightly so too Take care mate
well the spacers you see in the video are safe since they come with there own studs. The slip on ones if you put them on your stock studs then it becomes scary...
used to work with cars too! hyundai, volvo and honda xp brings back memories rs bad memories actually o.o i'll never work with cars again ever, only in my own car :/ you'd have to be much quicker to work in a car dealer but nice job anyway hehe
Is that lower balljoint a MOOG product also? You mind telling the part number? Might come in handy, since the part shops around here don`t know anything about S14`s..
Yes i do have 1. Yet you still took long as hell to change 1 ball joint. No need to be angry. I understand. Some people are not mechanically inclined as others. Anyway this is a past due post. Im not finna go backwards about i said 4 months ago. Get real dude.

I wish I knew more about cars, It would be a cool as hell to have a car to drift around in but also know how to fix, haha!
The spacer is used so that he can clear is brakes. And he uses 2 sets bc the spacer is a bolt on, not a slip on
OOOO purple 300zx front brakes, awesomesauce
Bridgestone Potenza RE070
Everything for the wheels and tires?
Well that went rather smoothly, nice work, sweet ride!
Wish me luck im about to put hardrace extended ball joints in to replace my blown out factory ones, hopefully the fit and fix bump steer a lil bit
Damn I wish things would go that smoothly when I worked on my car lol
Are you talking about the press looking thing? Its like a big kit called like ball joint removal kit or something lol
DO you really need to remove tire rods ? to replace ball joint ?
saw a bmw e30 with those rims today so dope. what are they?
i thought i was the only one with purple z32 brakes :D
Do u daily drive ur car ? Any idea how much liters it eats with all those mods u installed? like 15 liters for 100km normal driving ?
is that what you need to change to avoid your steering wheel from shaking? mine does at 65mph.
used to work with cars too! hyundai, volvo and honda xp brings back memories rs bad memories actually o.o i'll never work with cars again ever, only in my own car :/
you'd have to be much quicker to work in a car dealer but nice job anyway hehe
Haha it doesnt always go this smooth :p
I’m trying to find the right plyers to get the c- clip on
I used a 3 lb mini sledge as my ball joint press and got it out and in in about 3 minutes. also, snap ring pliers come in handy :)
quick question. what kind of camera do you use in your videos?
the second hub u put on, was it for a wider spacing or sumthing ?
what kind of tires you got on there and how much was everything my opinion maybe like 700 ish no more than 800
nice vid what size sockets did you use?

Always love your vids bro. Sick s14 too!!!
Your welcome! Thanks for watching! Please share!
Do you not torque down your spacers? or wheels?
Good instructionall video love looking on your videos !
i see that you use spacers... but why you use two set of nuts? it's for extra safety?
should prolly invest in some snap ring pliers if your gona be drifting haha
ive been wanting to run spacers at the track but ive heard a lot of horror stories lol
amen to that!
what kind of drill you using
ah, and i wouldn't fasten the shock absorber with just the pneumatic pistol, you should get a torque wrench
where did you buy that ball joint tool?
Valera thanks for the upload keep em up braa!!!
i love your videos man definite subscribe
What kind of ball joint press do u need?
Lol you tried to press the ball joint out without removing the clip at first.
Socket size for ball joint ?
Why don’t you use normal
Motion camera ?

What you see in the video is basically what I do ha. Also I'm a salesperson for my dad's used car dealership.
Basically I'm around cars all day.
How did you become so mechanically inclined? And please don't tell me Google.
Great vid. Keep them coming!!
Thank you!
Oh and whats the song ?

Where did you get that ball joint removal kit??!?! I rented one out from autozone and o'reilly's and they're useless as fuck.
Great video, very informative but please take those gloves off. Engine grease is men's moisturiser.
