⏩ What's with the gloves?
Not after any TH-cam fame here which is why I'm not in the vids - they're not about me they're about the how-to! I used the gloves for the first couple of projects I filmed which just happened to be messy ones and it kinda just became a thing - easy to spot my videos! If that's not your thing and you'd prefer to watch a face, all good, I won't be offended, there's plenty of better looking ones to watch already on TH-cam ;)
⏩ Where did this start?
I really enjoy tinkering with different projects - they usually require a whole bunch of research and learning along the way. It's satisfying on doing a thing and standing back and going 'Yeah! Totally did that!'. I had a bunch of mates asking 'how did you know how to do that?' and 'I couldn't never do that myself so I thought; I need to start something where I can help others that might be thinking the same thing :)
⏩ What will you find here?
The purpose is simply to make these videos as top quality and helpful as I can. They will always be free, there's ZERO agenda and the only motive is to try and upload what I would want to watch to help with that particular project. I'm also keen to keep building this little community and will try to answer all questions when asked - fire away :)

The only video on TH-cam that I could find, that explained both. You’re the greatest. SUBSCRIBED!
Haha thanks mate! Not sure on the 'greatest' bit but glad it was helpful!! 😁👍
Excellent! You have a knack for teaching. Thanks.
Quick tip, be aware of the alamite (grease fitting) position before removing and, if necessary, position it for easier access upon reinstalling. Whether it's yours or a customer's, you'll be making someone's job a bit easier. Never a bad thing.
Blessings to All 🙏🏻🙏🏻🙏🏻
100%, top tip :)
Thanks for the help spacer idea helped with the 2018 Jeep JK
Great video! Thanks!
Thanks a lot really appreciate the information
Awesome prep on this video! Very well done
Thankyou ✌️
Fantastic video. Great learning tool.
I always end up using all different combinations till it works. About time I get a real breakdown on how they aren't meant to work.
I wish my Land Rover Discovery 2 Ball joints had zerk/grease fittings.
Thanks for the video!
great video ...many thanks..
Awesome, thanks!
Really great vid boss...
Very interested way of removing ball joint .
Really gud video explained in fab details
I subscribed best of how you say muscles lol great vid thanks for the tips
Reminding the greas tip should be installed for easy access, he installed it facing in and won't be able to get to it, other than that great job and thank you really help me out installing my ball joints on my f150.🙏🏾💙🙏🏾
Thank you for sharing this; I felt like an idiot because when I was installing the new ball joint I did the opposite and damaged it…thank goodness for a warranty.
What brand is the one in your video?
Thank you for the video very helpful
Cheers ✌️
Nice and simple instructions thank you so much you just saved me a couple hundred, do you have any thing on how to replace manifold pipes on 05 trail blazer ls
No sorry 😞
Exelente el video
Will this work for a 2012 Subaru Impreza?
Is the cup suppose to fit under the lip during removal too?
Thank you for the knowledge sir
Thanks
Great video thanks. Is a tool of this quality suitable/strong enough to remove and install smaller suspension bushings? 👍👍
Thanks 👍 Yep have used before no probs. Just need the right attachment in the set. Use some penetrant spray.
What about retaining clip on top of ball joint?
According to manuals, what you call cups are actually adapters, and what you call adapters are cups. Basically a cup looks like a cup - a cylinder with a closed bottom.The smaller flat thingie is an "install cup adapter" (you can stack it with the install cup)
thx
Thank you.
You're welcome Jeff!
Great "How to" video as always, mate! A quick question - before changing the ball joints of your jeep, do you happen to capture a "How to check your ball joints?" video? That would be awesome!!
Stay safe and healthy there. Cheers, Chris.
Sure did... Stay tuned should be the next one or two out :)
I was hoping to also see which combo of pieces you used to do the top ball joint. Is that possible?
To do the top you need the catcher on the top, then use your spacers with the hole in the middle for the bottom. Once spaced out ok on the bottom use the ribbed one to attach to the press. 👌
Why did u freeze the balljoint iv never herd of that?
Wow thank you so much I haven't even watched it yet I'm going to follow up with this because I have to go and I really want to pay attention. Weird part is I've never used a press tool and I've done all kinds of brake jobs and control arm jobs. Don't even ask me why it's intimidating but I'm going to watch this because you seem like you're ready to really walk us through it and there's too many videos to waste time on so thank you. I have my lower ball joints along with struts control arms Etc but honestly since mine is mounted in the knuckle I might reuse them if they aren't that bad. I can't imagine they're good with a completely torn control arm bushing allowing everything to slam around but we will see. Right now someone is like why the hell would you leave them in there if you have the ball joints to replace? Well time is one thing energy is another and my back is absolutely trash when it comes to jobs like this I might be in pain for a week after this. Another is if it doesn't look like I need them I'm just not the kind of person to replace something like this if I don't need it. Honestly though for the record I'm a really disgusted with the engineering these companies choose that is obviously intended to make things hard for us so that the industry can be held up. People think this is a silly statement but if you were a trillionaire and your success relied on a network of dealerships and shops and those dealerships and shops start going out of business because everybody can fix their own vehicles trust me it's not logical for them to make things easy on us that's why you literally go insane when you go to fix something and you get the tool you need and you get down there and there's something in the way that had two to three inches on every side and could have been somewhere else but they chose to put it right in the way of your socket. oh I love the pulley tensioner scam. Two square feet and they want to put something right in the way of your tensioner so you can't even do a belt job without a couple hours of preparation
You didn’t have time to watch it because you had to go somewhere but then proceeded to write a frickin novel.
Weell good thing no one was talking to you... Yah thats reality kid. People are busy and don't live on the internet. Ok maybe just some of us, you know the ones that fund the world around you. Lets see 8 minute video or 30 seconds of speech to text so I can go back to work? Thats what I thought. You cant even drop a comment that pertains to the video. Might want to take inventory on your own life if you have one. @@oo0Spyder0oo
Will this work for leaf spring bushings?
Yep sure does 👍
Are you using a regular driver or air tools to rattle that in/out?
Using an 18v battery driver :)
Aussie Chris Fix.
Just getting the content out there 😁 Hope you found helpful 👍
Haha!
You must be a distant cousin of Chris Fix on TH-cam.😃 Great video, too!
Not even in the same league 😆
Did you reinstall the old one by accident or did that new ball joint already have pre-rust? Haha.
Great video and instructions.
Haha nah just an old one for a demo, new ones were going in the new diff 🤘😁
I was assuming it was the old 1 also cause it was very flimsy
Good video. Would have been nice to see you pressing it in and out though
Thanks mate, have a series of smaller fast vids in much more detail on the channel on both upper/lower and pressing in/out 🙂 Thanks for the feedback 👍
Bro, showing how it goes on was the main point of the video
How do you make them go in straight? Every time try to install my new ball joints they go in at an angle.
Just get everything dead lined up and take your time. Back it off and adjust after a turn or two at the start in need
Great video, but you didn’t show how to remove the upper.
Did you just try mountain that schedule? I think ya deed.
Love the Australian version of the Queens English 😂
😁
What about the ring on top of the ball joint .?
How do you mean?
Video Show Me How he means the snap ring that goes around the top of the new lower ball joint.
Don't forget the checkup retainer
Stupid auto spell check, Circlip
We call them snap rings here; west coast U.S. 🤘
I thought the blue glove was talking
Try it on a Ford Ba, no way it will press in straight with one of these at the beginning, hammer time.
did BA yesterday no problem, keep it straight
2:57 well, everything is upside down in the land of down under! Even the moon!
(I've been to Sydney, took pics of moon)
Im going to show you how to use a ball joint press tool ... here is your tool, here is your ball joint ... FLASH ... tool installed.

No one ever shows how to press out the upper ball joint.... the one I happen to need help with.
Same way as bottom but in REVERSE..LOL
nonstop inflections
Let me know what other jobs you've used your Ball Joint Removal Tool for.. Keen to know!
Rubber Bushings!
Sertain presses can be used for ujoint aswell
Indeed! Have used this one for that as well, works well
Just rented a “ball joint separator” from autozone so I can remove the ball joint from the knuckle to get to the suspension and he gave me this, what a fucking idiot
As in you wanted a pickle fork?
Bn
You can install withe the bolt up like you remove it just fyi
😡 don't rent this tool from auto zone, they don't have NONE of the adaptor cups that sits on top. Now I'm stuck waiting to oreillys open in the morning. Gonna b late going to the alignment shop now! Still gotta do the passenger side SMH 😤
Boo hoo

You didn’t even show removal?!?!
Nice Next time you may start from the top BJ!
Yes was a little tight for space 😂

Lame. Why cut past setting it up or pressing it. Thats what this video is for
In depth vids on the channel ✌️
Not that straight forward. 🤠
Autozone fucked me😡
Ok so at 2:47 you did not show the setup of the tool to press out the ball joint
