I would have replaced that lower ball joint with that torn boot while you had it off. It will probably fail soon...

This was a super handy video. Thanks for taking the time to film it. I appreciated the step by step instructions, and the torque specs. The bottom ball joint on my 07 Accord gave me a fit. I ended up using a floor jack (with a piece of 2”x2” wood) to push upward on two lug nuts while compressing the suspension. I used a sledge hammer to hit a piece of metal rod against the lower A-arm, and the ball joint finally broke loose.

You are not alone with a difficult ball joint...and I had it apart a week ago.

Great video, got it done. I bought the whole knuckle assembly with wheel bearing already pressed in with bottom ball joint. I think it was easier and no hydraulic press to worry about. 3 nuts and axe nut and ABS and brake line bolts. Watching video helped greatly, Thank you!

Great to hear. Yeah if budget allows, its easier to do it all together. Cheers on your repair

Thanks for putting the torque specs!

Nice demo! It's taken me a few years to understand how these old style pressed-in wheel bearings go together. The reason the bearing consistently breaks apart in two pieces is because the snap ring prevents the outer race of the bearing from coming off when you press out the hub. The snap ring is shielded by the rim of the hub, so you can't remove it, or even see the snap ring until the hub is removed. So, after a few years the inner race ends up being seized on the shaft of the hub, and the weakest link ends up being the bearing cage. You did a great job getting the inner race off the hub with the Dremel. I've seen other guys use a torch to expand the inner race, causing it to fall off without using the dremel. One day I'll try that.

No noise and no play so bearings are all fine, problem is with ABS sensor only. Car is inspected, brakes work really well. FYI, unlike say an old timing belt which can give way any second without warning, worn wheel bearings will grind and present play in the wheel, and I disagree, as long as there are no leaks are loss of grease wheel bearings can often go on for the life of the car.

@@trevorstewart4778 Bearings are housed in a sealed unit and only usually fail prematurely because the lubricating agent leaks out, for example, from a tear in a CV axle boot, and when they do fail it is obvious because it will be accompanied by a grinding, clunking or knocking sound from the area in question, which is the metal on metal sound. So what you are suggesting is all owners of cars with 150,000 miles or more should have all of the bearings in their vehicle replaced, even though there is no obvious noise just in case they fail?
