Thanks for the video. I replaced my ball joints on my 2001 Disco 2 and it was a PITA! 5 hours to do both sides! Here are some of my tips for anyone doing this job... 1) presoak the ball joint area with PB blaster a week in advance and every day after that to loosen it up. 2) make sure you have a proper ball joint tool kit like @J R1 used in the video Not those ones with only 4 or 5 parts. I'm talking about 10+ parts because you might need to piece together tools to remove the ball joint. 3) Use an impact gun/wrench. I didn't have one at the time I did mine but it was easier when I helped my friend do his ball joints. 4) freeze the new ball joints to shrink (thermal reduction) the metal before installing them. 5) don't drink so much beer when doing this hence my 5 hour install.
Just done mine.Didnt need a special tool.Just used a good gas torch and got it all nice and cherry red and knocked them out with a lump hammer.The new ones had been in the freezer and popped straight in.Took about 1hr each side.
Inner axle seal. I found this in an old email of parts orders. FTC4822 should get you started. Don’t forget to get 2 of them if you’re doing both sides.
Thanks a lot for that video... I m planning on doing that myself too but would love to know what where those tools you used to push the ball joint in and out. My english is not so well and would like to know the name so i can search for them on the net. Many thanks
Martin Rode just google “ball joint press”. I bought a cheap one from eBay ($100). I would buy a better one if I was going to do both side. All the best. Cheers.

Ah man! Nice work. I was afraid I would damage or warp something if I went too hot. I’ll know for next time. Good job 👍
Still helpful… even 4 years later 🤙🏾
Always good practice to take the jack handle out so if walking around the front whacking your shin or worse drop the vehicle down
Hay mate great videos wats the name of the seals you replaced just about to start my disco and over looked them in my planing stage

Hi, are they the 265/75r16 kumho mt51's?
Jason Hannibal 245/70R16. Great tyre. Not overly loud, more aggressive than an A/T. Handled well.
I have since sold the car.
@@JR-bf4sy yeah, just asking size as had them on previous car. Did you sell to save money on repairs 🤣
Yea pretty much! My wife bought me another car so I would spend more time with the family. 👍
Great work
Big 30 mm is hub adjustment so shaft don’t fuck oil seal
Prick of a job..I bent that clamp & still haven't installed the new joints yet
