This has to be one of the best illustrated video on KZread besides another one I came across.thank u for ur upload much appreciated brother👍🏼

Imaging living in a climate that doesn't rust stuff so badly that it strips the bolt and thread on the separator tool when you use it to remove your upper control arm... Lucky yanks. Great video sir.

Great video. Gave me the direction on which tool to get for our Odyssey. This tool was a life saver. Popped the ball joint loose in about two minutes. It also worked on the tie rod end of my 07 Odyssey as well. Getting the bearing out of the spindle, well that's another story. It was so rusted in there that the bearing puller/press tool cup that you place on the outside bent the spindle lip as I was trying to press it out. Replacement spindle will be here on Thursday. Hopefully it goes back together much easier than this disassembly has been.

Thanks for taking the time to make the video.

Awesome video man, with this content won't be long before you have a million subscribers!! 👍

Extraordinary detail ! Super helpful !! I learned lots !!! Thanks mate . 👊🏼

Thanks for the video!

Thanks! That clears up something I was wondering about, that is, should I avoid PB Blaster right on the rubber boot. So the silicone WD40 will be what I use. And spraying it on the tool as well, great idea!

Very good!! Thanks for getting right to it!!

Es usted el primero que veo poner penetrante en el conotuerca,muy buena idea,yo lo hago siempre y me va fenomenal,nadie y digo a nadie los he visto poner aflojatodo,yo lo hago siempre y cuesta menos sacarla,un 10 de 10.

Nice and clean. 👍🏼

thank you for the instruction sir

Good video. Try some thick grease on the puller threads to make them last longer.

Thanks Mr. Ranger

Thank you !!! A lot of other fucking videos just showing off the tool and not putting it to use to demonstrate how it works , thank you very fucking much man only video that shows how its done !

Hi. You should do a video showing how to diagnose a bad joint ball And another suggestion: how to remove, clean the starter (and replace its brushes) on a civic. Tks again, man

Nice video, thanks! Why would they put a 24 mm bolt on this? There is really no need in a 24 mm bolt.

So it doesn't shear off or twist

I've been using pickle forks. And they've sucked. They not only destroyed a part I wasn't planning on replacing, but I ended up using my jack and the weight of the car while hammering on the side of the knuckle until it finally came unstuck. But I was too stubborn to use fluid.

@MrRangerZr1

I never use pickle forks for that reason

will this type of separator compromise the rubber boot? I don't need to replace the ball joint but I do need to separate the control arm from the steering knuckle.

If you're carefully, no.

to put it back on you just have to screw in the top bolt and put the clip back on right?

This tool works well for Odyssey. Won't work for 2012 Accord because the fork diameter is too small and the fork is a bit too thick to insert in. Any suggested tool for Accord? Honda's 28mm tool is very expensive.

Honestly, it's what I've done in workshops most my life. Just leave the nut on top loose, strike the side of the hub section where the ball joint slips in, and it'll pop most of the time in a single hit.

I've been hitting mine with a BFH and using a pickle fork and it won't come loose. Picked one of these up today for 35 bucks and will try it out tommorow. I'm not going to dick around hammering and cursing if a small amount of money will stop the frustration, I'm still saving way more than a professional would charge.

Make sure to keep the nut just at the end of the stud to protect the threads from getting bunged up. Hard to see in video.
