So as a 20 year Honda Mechanic it makes me happy you’re just jumping in and fixing stuff, if you don’t have any buy some jack stands instead of using a factory jack while you’re jacking the Hammer up, here’s a tip on the hammer job, using a hammer is the correct way to remove ball joints, the reason they’re hard to remove is because they’re a cone shape and they get stuck in the hole also buy a 5lb sledge hammer from Autozone or O’Reilly’s and to get them to pop out you smack the side of the ball joint basically the part the ball joint goes into is what you hit. At that point they will pop out and you won’t kill or hurt yourself, enjoy Hondas have fun but be safe and I promise you there’s great videos on TH-cam that show you the easy way to do these things. Also the threads on the bottom of the ball joint will get smashed if you hit them or Jack up a hammer into the threads.
What I do is use a hammer to hit the joint thing to pop out instead of a jack hit the thing where you put the joint with the bolt thing it should pop out after 2-3 hits
5:22 giving the mounting locations a decent smack will vibrate the metal enough to usually pop it right out. Something to keep in mind in the future. Some just will not come out the way you did this one. No matter how hard you try, and then someone with more experience comes along after a couple hours of watching you struggle and smacks it once with a hammer and it pops right out almost as if to laugh at you as well.... Noooo I definitely did not learn this the hard way... Nope. ;)
4:30 That is bent to prevent vibration from allowing it to wiggle loose, and then subsequently the ball joint could Possibly, vibrate the nut loose and then catastrophic failure. Is this likely, No. Highly unlikely if everything is done properly.... But that tiny 5cent piece of metal is a hell of a lot of piece of mind. Even In the event something is not done right, Say the castle nut / ball joint nut were not tightened all the way, this tiny piece will hang on long enough, holding the castle nut on, for someone to notice Something is very wrong.
The part where you put the camera on the ground and you drive over it in the intro is really creative and then the car is so low it hits the camera over great intro
Ouch. Good thing no one got hurt! Funny I ordered the rear camber kit from Tire rack and they sent me the wrong part! They sent me someone else's order. Someone has my camber kit while I have his lift kit! 😔
@@AccordEmpire I finally got the replacement and went to install it today. The tuning fork ball joint separator I rented from Oreilly was no good so I went to Harbor freight and bought a $20 one from them instead. That $20 was well spent, I was able to remove the stock arms in 10 seconds flat each. The rented one sucked. I increased the arm length maybe 5 mm but barely notice any correction. Going to take it to a wheel/tire center and have them dial it in.
sorry about my spelling im dislexc hay man i love hondas too im in australia so are names are diffrent but i got the 2003 honda accord euro/tsx CL9 with the k24a3 and my bf has the 2007 2.4l verson of yours with the k24a8 and i mod my one but hes very picky with making his looks shit and i was showing him yours and he likes your body kit, his is the limited model but doent have the lux foglights. did you get your body kit after the monulo one? i have frount and back mondulo and sports side skits on my one with a mugen 3 peace carbon wing, the carbon need fixing up to the sun here kills clear cotes.
i also just got "Hard Race" camber arms i was looking at this red brand your putting in but wasent shoure since they where so werdly cheap and i dident want to get some thing that would snap while driving since here in aus every one thats gotten coilover less then $1000aud ither failed on the mounts or the welds cracked or snapped and i saw that the red brand had $500 set and made me alittle worried about there quality, how has the brand been for you?
Not everybody wants to go through a set of tires every year. When you go low more negative camber is created on these cars. you get the kit to correct it stock units are non adjustable

Time flies. Glad I’m able to reflect back on myself through these videos.
Ouch. Good thing no one got hurt!

Hopefully they send you a replacement!

Next time get some jack stands for safety. Great work! New to the channel by the way
Most definitely! Next thing I’m gonna purchase thanks for watching!
@@AccordEmpire out of curiosity... What did you do with the esr sr09 wheels?
Guy at tire shop wanted them and took ‘em
@@AccordEmpire cool. Reason I ask is because i am looking in to getting the same ones in the hyper silver for my 17 accord.
I loved those wheels would’ve kept them but one had a air leak so it was time to change. Still highly recommend them
sorry about my spelling im dislexc

To fix my negative camber so when I take it to an alignment they adjust the toe because without it they cant adjust it at all.
