No auto repair job ever goes smoothly, regardless of how small it may be. Stuck parts and the like. This vid really helped when my brother and I changed the uppers, lowers, sway links and balljoints on his Accord. Rented that press tool from a local parts store and buddy, that thing saved the day. Thanks for a good, clear, no-nonsense vid.

Get an adapter with the right size diameter. Use a rotary metal cut off tool and make cut outs to make it fit. You can secure the adapter in a vice so it will be stable when you're making the cuts.

Some kits come with new rings and some do not. Quite frankly, I don't really see a need for it. Just how in the heck is the ball joint going to possibly come out being press fitted into the steering knuckle and bolted to the lower control arm? Maybe ... perhaps ... if you run your car into a ginormous pot hole? If that happened, you've got more to fix than a ball joint.

Honda's double wishbone (control arm) suspensions keeps all the tire threads on the road when taking high speed turns over rough surfaces. More costly to produce for the auto makers.

Just an idea to keep in mind, if you plan on reusing any balljoints or tie rod ends, leave the nut on after loosing it. This way if you do happen to hit it with a hammer you won't mess the threads up. I did that one time, had to taper file the end of the threads to get the nut back on, leaving that nut on can save you time, money and hassle.

@@hardlymovingpro Thank you.

Dude you are a professional. I notice the little things in your work. The tie holding up the axle I think it is. The bucket under the caliper. The way you got off the rotor bolt by a little hitting . Someone stripped mine by not doing that. Great work and video! Also how long would you say is for labor?

Thanks for your comment. Just replacing the ball joint ... I can probably do it in under 1.5 hours with the tools I've been using. If you're using mechanical tools (no powered impact drivers), it'll definitely take longer. I now buy new ball joints where the rubber boot is flush with the body of the ball joint that's pressed in the steering knuckle. They're more expensive but it saves me a lot of time. Like in the video, the rubber boot must be removed and refitted with the cheaper ball joints.

@@hardlymovingpro what brand has the boot flush with the ball joint, that looked like the most annoying party honestly. Awesome video by the way, thank you!

@@lumntoob999 You can go with a MOOG brand which is not cheap but they give you lifetime warranty. The dust boot is flush with the body of the joint. A link to the joint is provided in the "Show More" description area of this video.

@@hardlymovingpro perfect thank you. I saw everything in the description I just wasn't sure if that was the one in the video or the better one so thank you for clarifying.
