I didn’t have those Honda parts for the press so I used an old strut knuckle bolt and an old axle nut with the press and then a 30 mm socket with a mallet and VOILA! 😃

what is your preference regarding sealed vs grease-able ball joints? I've always used the oem toyota that are sealed personally and they seem to last.

@hardlymovingpro

4 жыл бұрын

My preference is grease-able everything. There are parts manufacturers that exceed oem standards. Mevotech's is one of them with their TTX ball joint series. I'll show you in a future video installing one on a Toyota.

Do you think a pickle fork and hammer would work to get the ball joints out if I don't have that socket adapter kit you are using?

Only for separating the ball joint from the lower control arm.

I am not familiar with that brand of ball joint...here in the lower 48... Educational video... for Honda owners.

Mevotech has been around for awhile as an aftermarket parts provider. I've found their quality control to be excellent, their parts always fit and they have a good tech support line.

If you don't have an Impact driver.. You can use a lead anchor setting tool for 3/8" drop in anchors....Just whack the head of the bolt with it...It will jar the bolt loose..

hello, nice video, but i have a question, the grease fittin you just use it to add grease and then took it off, So what about if you need to add grease in the future??? you are disassembly everything or you are using a needle injection to add more grease??

@hardlymovingpro

Good question. There's not enough room to have a permanent grease fitting on the ball joint. The fitting would rub against the bearing cup of the cv axle. If you want to re-grease, you'd have to remove the cv axle from the hub, screw in the fitting and then re-grease.

Do you need to do an alignment aftet this job or not necessarily? I just changed my tie rod ends, tje strut mounts and the wishbone bearings, i have a little knock when starting off while also stearing and i just did an alignment. The Ball joints would be the next job to do

@hardlymovingpro

Absolutely! Do the alignment AFTER you do the ball joints. You can also get life time alignment agreements with some shops like Firestone so you can bring your car back as often as you want.

What were the symptoms? Enjoyed the video. What tools or brand of tools, depending upon the tool - you rather use?

@hardlymovingpro

Thanks for your comments! Thunking noise when the wheels are at full deflection and going up a driveway or over bumps. The upward motion of the wheel combined with turning pulls the ball of the ball joint out of the ball joint socket. As the wear gets progressively worse, the front wheels will wonder and a wheel alignment job will not correct it. I'll be listing the tools and parts used this evening in the text description area of this video.

I like your snap ring plyers. I'm lacking a good pair with tips.

Did the ball joint come with the plug or where did you get it ? I had an issue finding some plugs for a 04 honda accord it was the same process but mine didnt come with a plug

Are you referring to the grease fitting plug? If so, the replacement joint came with L shaped grease fitting adapter (to pump in grease after installation and to be later removed) and a green rubber press in plug (to replace the grease fitting adapter).

Could eventually break and the wheel will collapse inward.

Impact driver should not be used on a ball joint press it will destroy the threaded portion of the press. Yes I know everybody does it, that don't make it correct.

Thanks for sharing! You're right for the inexperienced techs. The threads could strip if over torqued.

There is no reason to take the rotor off the knuckle. Leave it attached. You can remove the axle nut with the rotor attached. You do need to remove the caliper though.

Would be somewhat cumbersome pressing out the old ball joint with the knuckle attached rotor held on with only one screw.

Sealed. No one ever remembers to grease those zerk fittings.
