You are very welcome

Great video simple not to much talking and taking up time just what i needed to do this job on my 96 this weekend

I used the small piece that you used for the top joint, got fused to the ball joint - having a really hard time getting that piece off the joint ! Thinking use the large one first, get the joint moving - then move to using that small piece to finish it off.

Wow! I just broke 2 ball joint presses! Trying to take off the driver's bottom ball joint. On a 2006 Ram 2500 4x4, I just bought a Makita corldless 1,200 lbs of unbolting power and it didnt even move, so now I think I broke the impact, but its new so its still under warranty.

Yes it is . And you can rent the ball joint press from O'Reilly's but if you don't want to return it you can just keep it same price.

Thankyou excellent video

Great vidéo help alot

Now thats how you do a video in and out Perfect Great job Bro im from West Dallas.

I spent $1200.00 on the new matco press there is a video of it on youtube. The thing I hate with the normal press is I had to modify alot of my adaptors to fit the rams which sucks

Even if they're getting replaced I would still get fired for doing that it's a major safety hazard and that's from a guy who thinks sending trucks 30 feet off Dunes is fun...

I had to heat them up with the torch and they slowly popped out with tool pressing on them.

Bought mine at oriellys and the adapters at harbor freight

Do you usually get away with not having to replace the front axle shaft seals inside the axle tubes? My luck, I will get mine all back together only to see gear lube leaking out the axle.

Kelly Snapp as long as they are not leaking before hand. If you do you must be able to re align the front ring and pinion.

What's the name of the press kit or #

I did mine like you did yours One side has negative camber alot now Old ball joints are not adjustable and were exact same kind as new ones Why is this?

@chrisdavis9556

6 жыл бұрын

If you have negative camber you need to get a positive camber upper ball joint they do make them.

Used this exact same procedure on about a dozen Ram 2500. Doesn't work if you're from the Northeast obviously. Each time I've tried it I've ended up pushing the ball though the top of the joints housing.

Where did you get the ball joint press is there a certain kind to get? Would the harbor freight 4wd press kit work on these dodge 2500 diesel trucks?
