@@Paul-fq4mm You're 100% going to come across customers who are trying to fuck you over too. Elegantly dealing with these types of people is a difficult skill to obtain.
I give you props Matthew I’m a mechanic at a lexus dealer and I got used to using the lifts up to the point where sometimes I g2 do family cars at home and the next day my back and knees are killing me so sore from not being used to it. A street mechanic is another kind of breed. Keep on wrenching bro and much more success to you also!
Many times I have been pissed from self injury and the reactions were as exact as yours so don’t feel bad or apologize for it, it goes with the territory. I have had many jobs go exactly like this in my 50 plus years of experiences. You handle it just fine in my book! Keep on keepin on!
I'm out north. Pine and Lewis, motor alley. I'm telling you, brother, new cars are getting so high, that mechanics are about to take over the world. You're developing a reputation. You will be able to expand, soon. Just keep grinding. Thanks for the content.
Get you a good cordless impact, will save you time. I have a Milwaukee 2962-20 1/2 impact, ordered from Amazon. They’re pretty strong it loosened my axle nut when i was replacing my ball joint in my civic.
When you punched yourself in your face I wanted to give you a dewalt or Milwaukee impact wrench to use on the ball joint press. Ain’t nobody got time to use a ratchet! lol good job keep it up.
@@victorxify1 hes referring to the press tool, you should really only use a breaker bar with the press tool to avoid damage to a ratchet or to the threads on the tool
I don’t know what kind of tools you guys are using but with grease and not being and animal on it I’ve had the same ball joint tool for like 10 years now and not stopped it yet. Buy better tools I guess if you’re worried.
You dont use impact guns on those pullers and presses, it can damage them, everybody tryna replace hand tools with ratchets will soon realize, its better by hand, id rather not cross thread nuts and destroy everything using an impact gun, i only use them to remove bolts and nuts, never to tighten
@@VC-TV this for sure, I love the impact wrench and driver like the next guys but....when I put things back in its by hand so I dont cross thread or send it too hard...
Should get one of those small hydraulic press out tools for that ball joint, still have to make sure its straight but as long as you press it straight and dont let it get cockeyed it well come out smooth and easy!🤠👍 am I thinking right? It's been a while but if I remember it was like a jack at one end with a hose going to a cup looking piece that you could change sizes for different size ball joints or am I getting confused with a dent puller lol, it sucks getting old LOL!🙆♂️🤠👍
Had this happen to me just the other day. The sad part? I had all my suspension replaced by Big O tires to avoid this very problem. They didn’t install the lower ball joint properly.
I see cars on the side of the road this happens to and I'm always hoping it never happens to me. Glad I put an old Ford Dana 60 Kingpin axle on my 2002 Chevy, solid axle swap, when I lifted it 11 inches and put 40 inch tires on.
Here's the Deal, Ball Joints tie rod ends CV shafts control arm bushings sway bar links and Wheel 🛞 bearings always make a noise, a sound an indication that they are failing, i find it insulting to us car lovers when people drive on these issues and ignore them. They not only pose risk to irreparable damage to the vehicle but they also pose Risk to occupants and even danger and inconvenience to others on the roadway when they fail. Unacceptable. Do not continue driving. My Wife was involved in a collision that was the direct result of a broken down OBS chevy scrap metal collector truck with a completely sheered off front end due to owner just ignoring repairs
You need to spend money on better tools man if you're breaking your stuff on non rusted parts. You'd be going broke working in states with salted roads.
Ouch...been there "hmmm I probably shouldnt put a cheater bar on this, snap, punch, @@#*($" Not the face...typically I like to find the ground or a nice piece of the engine lol.
Should of recommended to do both sides now, even check rear suspension. sounded like he wanted you to work work work. Rear main seal leak, SHAKES on the expedition. 🤣
Reminds me what happened to a friend once: I pull up to his place and he's hollowing out a catalytic converter on a customer's car with a big hammer and chisel...he slips and mashes his hand with the hammer. He turns to his wife who was watching, and with an expression of severe pain on his face, just says in a calm low voice: "The price just went up". :D
Question, I genuinely don’t care but was curious. New to the the channel but in the beginning when you had to work on it in the ladies drive way. Did you clean up the mess and is that something you could be held liable for?
I’m glad I live in pa where we do car inspections every year. I know he was only backing up, but imagine if he was on yhe highway doing 70 and that gave out
Happens all the time, ppl don't get hurt...Absolutely NO reason to be thankful for the government "inspecting" vehicles, charging you/ taxing you and being up in your business!
Why he using hand tools?? My Milwaukee mid torque has saved my knuckles and back! This guy puts in a lot of work.. just curious.. even a cheapo from Wally world or harbor freight. Ill never take a tire off with a breaker bar again unless caught off guard
200 bucks labor for a ball joint and tie rod end repair is crazy, not to mention all of the extra time, expenses, and headache of working mobile. You gotta start charging more man, you’re cheating yourself.
“Man I’m even chargin em for punchin myself in the face”😂😂😂😂😂
“holy shit dude 😨” 😂😂😂
Takes a lot of confidence to do what your doing. Good job
how so? are you that scared of working on a car ? 😂😂😂😂

Thank you for being transparent and being yourself!
Can you do landscape mode please?
Thought the same thing, very genuine human
That front end was probably making racket for years. A racket that was ignored
I’d say probably. However I had the same issue on my e46 with brand new arms after a year and a half.
You even caught a black eye for that job CHARGE EM 600! Lol

Hey Matthew this should be your slogan. Lol.
Man when you get to hitting off parts you know your over it. I'm glad I'm Not the only one that does this hahaha
Gotta love them ol ball joints
“I live in Tulsa”
“Oh, in Glenpool?”
😂
I would have told him he needed to replace the whole control arm I ain’t messing with no ball joint press for sure but Parker is top notch.

That's probly why the threads on that ball joint press were stripped because they used a impact on it lol
@@chip_stack Doesn't hurt to remove, just don't use a impact to tighten lol.

I come from Vietnam, I love you very much!
Man pulls on racket and then goes off screen with a CLINK!!! Man reappears with a fucked up lip and says, "ouch"! Hehehe. 🤣🤣🤣🤣
Just use a bigger socket on the ball joint puller to bypass the stripped out area i had to do that before
Lol I love your honesty good man brother..💯✌️
This guy reminds me April Oneals boyfriend from the turtles in the 80s
That's why he looked familiar to me lol
Kc Jones
I hope the owner of the van went back and cleaned up the lady’s driveway!
Couldn't you put anything in-between the ball joint press to take up some room so the good threads could push it?
New fav channel. Love the content, brother.
These excuses to get out of work are getting crazy😂😂
Holy f*** around it 😂😂
Wish we had your skills up here in Alaska!! Seem to have every situation sorted out
Owh snapped.

Looped loop and pull and your shoes are looking cool 🎵🎶
That shit was fire from SpongeBob.
Lol at the guy getting so excited i ln his story he said jall boints instead of ball joints
From the looks of the wear on that tire, its been bad for a while and finally give up the fight lol!🙆♂️

“ I live in Tulsa and … Holly $hit dude!”
He said da joint
It does suck to punch yourself in the face lol guaranteed to be gun shy the rest of the day😂
That inner tie rod looks bent, maybe it's not but I'd have to check the other side to compare
You need to spend money on better tools man if you're breaking your stuff on non rusted parts. You'd be going broke working in states with salted roads.
I mean to each their own but yea his to choices break my heart.
Yea, breaker bars exsist aswell😂
Nvm he had a breaker bar but used his smart brain to decide not to use it😂
Hes got daytona jacks...theyre like $300...i doubt he buys much cheap shit..
@@Barrymckociner074didn't he say he broke it
The balljoint press I typically always have it greased up before using it so that exact problem doesn't happen
That holy shit gave me a good laugh.
Ouch...been there "hmmm I probably shouldnt put a cheater bar on this, snap, punch, @@#*($" Not the face...typically I like to find the ground or a nice piece of the engine lol.
man i wish you were in florida
Oil the threads on the ball joint press

Had to knock some sense into urself 😂 it’s motivation
I suggest you buy a propane or map gas torch for these kind of issues.
You're not a mechanic until you've punched yourself in the face, trying to loosen or tighten something😅
3:00 what was your point from that statement?
$200, is that total or just labor?? Hopefully thats just labor you're charging..

Yep, was underneath a vehicle breaking a bolt free, bolt snapped and about knocked myself out. Was pissed off the rest of that day haha
Can’t believe you do these repairs without a lift.
Oh look another Chevy broke down. Imagine that.
You could be at this guy’s house all week.

Definitely punched myself several times a year
Holly shit dude
Buy an impact.

Yeah, be careful bro. I know that’s what painful

These people don't want to let him work. They keep talking.

Yes i was wondering if other mechanics got hurt i guess it comes with the turf
