Renault Clio Mk3 Balljoint replacement

Balljoint replacement on a Mk3 Clio. The car failed an MOT test on this balljoint. The replacement part was £12. The garage quoted £60 to supply and fit, not a huge amount. This is not a “how to” video, just me changing it the way I would with the tools available at that time. Thanks for watching.

    Nicely mended matey. Now I know how to replace the ball joints on my Renault Clio Mk3. Can you do a video on how to replace the crankshaft oil seal on an Audi A3? I'm having no end of bother with mine 👍

    The nut that holds the ball joint on I've removed the nut on the RHS but is the another thread because I've noticed you using a socket on the other side of the bolt

    It’s not threaded, the bolt can be tight to remove due to rust. Give it a soaking with some penetrating fluid. I used the ratchet to remove the bolt. You could try putting the nut on partially, place a socket on the nut and give it a tap to see if that will help to release it.

    Have you to remove anything else besides the wheel to do this job ?

    It was long nose pliers to remove the retaining clip. The other tool to press out and press in the balljoint is a balljoint service tool, you can get them on eBay.

    Just get the driveshaft out of the wheel hub and get yourself some space dude. The correct way is to press the ball joint the opposite way out
