I own a garage an this is normal rust for the uk. Big deal to all the negative no bheads. Great tool, looks like a good time saver

Must be in a really corrosive environment, never seen such a rusty control arm, this is a handy tool I have one and it makes this an easy job you may have to use WD and tap with hammer just to break the grip . I just wonder what causes this amount of rust.

Hi John. Where I live the roads are salted for about 6 months of the year. You can see the impact this has had on the car. Thanks for your comment!

Not only this salt , škoda had problem with this , the same is Octavia , is low quality of steel to year 2010 is absence of anti rust protect. And if y usually park on grass y do this with all brands.

Helpful video, cheers 🙂

good job . i have a feeling that this tool if its genuine costing same as a car . impact wrench would strip the treads , hollow hydraulic ram way to go . 👍👍👍

Why so negative about his car? Totally irrelevant.

It would be better with talking rather than "no talking". If it is supposed to be instructables video, not a promotion how good mechanic you are. For instance 1:25 you remove the ball joint like nothing. How did you do that? For me it is always big problem to disconnect it.

Any way of doing this job without that bearing puller? Just some threaded bar and intuition?

It would be pretty difficult. Your best bet would be to remove the hub assembly from the car. Then you might be able to punch the old bearing out in a press or with a big hammer. Getting the new bearing in without damaging the ball races would be almost impossible though. You'd have to make a collar that goes behind the flange and sits on the outer ball race. Good luck!
