I own one. Needed it for a repair one time. Cheap one from harbor freight, but when you use it, you wonder how you lived without one. The pop sound can you scary at times. I also live where rust is a real issue, so the is that.
@@schrodingerscat4737 always something... I had to put a bushing on a rear upper control arm on my Ford Flex a while back and I had to cut one of the bolts and buy another one for $70 because the bolt hit the frame and wouldn't come out without cutting it off and putting a new one in the other direction.
i did trailing arm bushings from the axle on my volvo 240 this winter. it took months of fiddling with diy spacers and press tools, had to be just the perfect size. running between my family farm shop with the metal working tools and heading home to see try it out. Once i got everything lined up perfectly the m12 stubby made quick work of it
My dad show me this trick..and I've used it several times ..now i have the right tool.. Time to get that mower going isn't it..lol..see you on the next one Cheers friend 🥂🥂🇺🇸🇺🇸🇺🇸
Most ball joint presses have multiple adapters for pressing bushings in and out. They can be rented( free ) from most of the part stores. If you don’t have air or electric tools, you’ll still need a vice( preferably ) and a breaker bar, but the mechanical advantage of the press, will work in your favor.
Jimmy, it's past time to invest a little in some tools. Get yourself a HF 20 ton hydraulic press plus at least the master ball joint press kit or the front wheel drive bearing removal and install set. A set of 1/2" impact sockets also come in handy. They will save you a lot of aggravation and running around trying to find the correct size of adapters for the job. (I was able to get the 20 ton press for the price of the 12 ton because they were out of the 12 ton press.) I could kick myself for not buying those years earlier. You will find many uses for them.
The easiest way i found is to run a drill in between the outer sleeve and the rubber. It walks the rubble out of the sleeve and then you can push out the outer sleeve.
For $40AUD, I bought a harbour freight quality, multi purpose press that I can re-use for most/all bushes on my 4x4. It arrived from the states I. 3 days and I didn't have to ruin an impact socket.
🤣 good tip.. if you do it that way you have to put pressure on the outside edge of the bushing. Get some good tension on it and smack the arm with a hammer. It usually shocks them loose and fall right out.
Or use a ball joint press... you don't absolutely need a $1000 snap-on BJP-1 kit, but I got it for the shop I work at because I replace u-joints & ball joints relatively often enough to justify the cost.
I just used that method to get a bushing back in but you can use the same method with the socket but you need a smaller socket on the other side and just put a big enough clamp on it a c clamp and clamp it out
This dude is hilariously legendary for this lmao I tried the same thing and also said the same thing he did when it didn’t work 😂 The only way this might work is if the bushing is very very worn, otherwise you need a hydraulic shop press
Exactly why i went with completely new uooer and lower control arms this time (includes the bushings). And i own a huge set fir breaking bearings and bushings,.but still tough. Especially in the rust belt (thank God I live in the dry desert these days 🏜️🏝️)
I always put a dab of oil on my tools and part before doing this because it takes a lot of friction out making it possible to do this with a half decent air impact.
it's SO unbelievably easy, that i DON'T believe it! LoL been there man, ive had the best luck with iron pipe, all-thread rod, long nuts and jam nuts, then turning two boxed end wrenches on either end. use sil-glide on the threads. then throw the whole mess in the trash and go buy a 12 ton hydraulic press. 😅
I made some concoction similar to that to remove s-cam shaft bushings. The real trick is keeping everything true when first starting it out, other wise you get that unfortunate mess 😅
If you hit the metal with a hammer while you are cranking on it you will find it will pop right out. Personally I prefer to use a press. If your trying to press sticky balljoints out tap on it with a hammer.
Grade 8 hardware with a smaller socket with at least a 1/4” thick washer or perhaps a strut square washer that resides at the Home De Pot electrical department also, a solid mount vice and a decent 1/2” impact rated at 500ft pound to 650 ft pounds and the use of freezing and heating will greatly increase one’s odds with successfully accomplishing this task; or just head over to harbor freight and buy a cheap press and purchase some scrap metal stock. However, minus the toxic smoke it’s hard to argue the efficiency of a oxy/acetylene torch set up and a air chisel when removing stubborn anything! Just saying

Being a mechanic for the last 8 years I can say that exactly what it sounds like 😂😂
A whole 8 years??¿¿¿ 🤣
@@codyweien4513 Everyone has to start somewhere
I didn't hear any c@cksuckers, or Goddammits!!!
@@codyweien4513 says the guy who has uploaded a video asking people the tell him what’s that noise is his engine is make. 🤣 🤡
@@Iwannagofast don't worry someone told him what the problem was lol
“Well that didn’t work” 😂😂
😑😔
This one got me, a almost gave up, priceless.
Use a little bigger washer and it would have worked
That’s exactly how it goes every time I work on a car
@@tinytattoomike7943 And an impact gun would have also helped. The grade 2 "butter bolt" did not help things either.
The grunts are beautiful, then the defeated, but calm, "well that didn't work." Was beautiful!
Bigger washer and a impact with a swivel. 👍 Keep on rocking in the free world
Somehow, I knew this would end up as comedy gold!
🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣
I was literally into it until he started struggling and I just died laughing… You got me man whoever you are lol keep it up
When I pulled out the "well that didn't work" I lost it 😆
Now this is the best spot on accurate mechanic short haha.
That moment when you realize that a hydraulic press would be a great purchase
I own one. Needed it for a repair one time. Cheap one from harbor freight, but when you use it, you wonder how you lived without one. The pop sound can you scary at times. I also live where rust is a real issue, so the is that.
Until you can't fit it in the press because the stupid knuckle is in the way. Lol I had to break out the wood block and hammer today 🤣

@@patthesoundguy Somebody at the Ford Flex factory had it out with you and put that 2 dollar bolt (factory price) in backwards!
😄
@@raybin6873 it was punishment for owning too many Chevy's in my life 🤣
Had to love this.
"And again. And again. Aand agaain. HUP- PTOI"
Just love how you progressively go from talking to just sheer force grunts.
The sound effects and "that didn't work..." made the video so great!

They sell a tool at harbor freight that works for some of them.
OTC Hub tamer and an impact gun I just watched South Main Auto do it this morning
It always ends up being more work than anticipated
Especially when you don’t just use a long arm 1/2” ratchet, or a 1/2” electric impact or using soft zinc bolts instead of grade 8 or 5 bolts.
Go to Amazon & order a ball joint press. Mine was like $45 & I've used it about 100 times so far.
Get yourself a bigger washer, and a Milwaukee 1/2 impact wrench.....Oh and a Wilton Vice.
The most DIYers out here in the real world face the things mentioned in this video. 😅 It's the most honest DIY video i have seen in a while. 😂
My dad show me this trick..and I've used it several times ..now i have the right tool..

You're pretty flexible being able to hold your foot up on top of that bench.
I know, that killed me.

Unbelievably easy.all I can confirm is he's a real mechanic if that's the definition of easy
few years back, I bought a harbor freight 20 ton press. amazing to have that machine at my disposal, especially for having spent so little.
My 20 ton shop press works wonders on those bushings takes about two minutes😂
But, where’s the fun in that?
@@Scott-sx1bf no fun but…profitable.
@@Mikael5732 Like my pops used to say, “If you can dodge a control arm you can dodge a ball”.
Air hammer ... about 45 seconds ... and she fall right out...
Always carry one with me in my pocket.
Wow. That WAS easy! Thanks for the pro tip!

I could kick myself for not buying those years earlier. You will find many uses for them.
this is the easy part. putting new ones in is the real job.
Just needed bigger washers and an impact gun and I could see it working pretty good
Haha , that was good , worth the watch!
Did you think that it might be more helpful to use a grade 8 bolt and nut?
The easiest way i found is to run a drill in between the outer sleeve and the rubber. It walks the rubble out of the sleeve and then you can push out the outer sleeve.
I just started as a diesel tech apprentice and I thought I was in alright shape but it’s really showing me how little muscles I have 😂
I appreciate the realistic expectations vs actual outcome
The best humor is the type you aren’t expecting
What if he added an extra washer or thicker plate around the same diameter as the socket? Would that have prevented it from giving out?
A suspension shop what do you use a small torch to cut the rubber and then smash it out warm it and then repress but still out of the control arms.
I love how accurate his grunts are going from audible to inaudible 🤣
Heat the outside with a torch and it will slide right out like exlax..😎👌
I just put it under something heavy with the big socket on a jack and a small socket up top and it pops it right out but a hydrolic press is nice
Learned this a long time ago. Buying whole control arm assembly will save you lots in labor costs or time if you do it yourself.
I’m getting looks from the other side of the aisle thanks now everyone knows I like watching people remove bushings forcibly
Thanks for starting my day off with a laugh 😂
Or buy a $99.00 press at Harbour Freight. Also, try grease on the threads.
Now that was one hell'uva wrastlin' match. I see Killer Kontrolarm still good up on his game...didn't even destroy any cheap chairs /tables...
😄👍
What's holding that bolt on the other end? Air?
Can I use this video sound track for my next constipation video?
Add anti-seize grease to the bolt threads first, warm up the part and lube it before you crank it down to pop it out.
Thank you for that one 👊😆👍
Oh this one got me good 😂😂 really had us in the first half
There is no way I'm going to finish my life without trying that. What was that tool you modified? I do the sound effects naturally already.
🤣🤣 soo glad I watched the whole thing. Amazing content
For $40AUD, I bought a harbour freight quality, multi purpose press that I can re-use for most/all bushes on my 4x4. It arrived from the states I. 3 days and I didn't have to ruin an impact socket.
So how do you get it back in after you take it out
Impact? With very nice tool you made man
🤣 good tip.. if you do it that way you have to put pressure on the outside edge of the bushing. Get some good tension on it and smack the arm with a hammer. It usually shocks them loose and fall right out.
Or use a ball joint press... you don't absolutely need a $1000 snap-on BJP-1 kit, but I got it for the shop I work at because I replace u-joints & ball joints relatively often enough to justify the cost.
Haha. That is literally the sum of every mechanics life right there. This is gold. Haha.
I just used that method to get a bushing back in but you can use the same method with the socket but you need a smaller socket on the other side and just put a big enough clamp on it a c clamp and clamp it out
This is why I have a bone chip in my elbow that’ll never heal haha
The most honest video known to mecahnics
Demolition saw is one of my favorite tools, then just a sledge and smack it out.
If you choose a finer thread pitch like in a metric Bolt then you don't have to put so much torque on your breaker bar
Threaded rod needs to be high tensile with 2 nuts ,when tight shock hit the back of the pressing cup.
I appreciate the effort, but man, your contents, hilarious brother 😂😂😂
This dude is hilariously legendary for this lmao I tried the same thing and also said the same thing he did when it didn’t work 😂

You could make a press with a bottle jack and wheel stop in the parking lot or buy one at hf
Danm bro... is that table ok?
Use a thick washer (3/8 - 1/2) on the other side of that socket to avoid that
Most realistic mechanic video ever made
So a ball joint press?
Laugh a little harder every time it replays. Roflol! Damn. That’s hilarious!
Whenever I grunt that much I usually produce an accidental flatulation.
I needed that. Hilariousness😂😂😂😂😂 I just made that up, you’re welcome.
Dude after that fail, get a thicker, stronger bolt and some heavier thicker washers and try it again. Also put some torch heat to it.
I always put a dab of oil on my tools and part before doing this because it takes a lot of friction out making it possible to do this with a half decent air impact.
That was super easy... Just wondering who will help me get my foot off the bench and back to the shop floor.
This is why I'm happy my truck came with 2 new control arms and bushings, so I didn't have to do this when swapping them, just the whole thing.
There's a kit that'll pop those out with minimal energy. Is called ball joint press. Js lol but A for effort.
Then how did you get it out?
The noises this man made .... real man grunts
Grade 8 nut,bolt, and washers would work. Or perhaps a ball joint press.
Great Exercise 😂👍
I usually throw the whole thing in the fireplace and dig it out the next morning after the paramedics leave.
After watching that I feel like taking a dump thank you so much!
it's SO unbelievably easy, that i DON'T believe it! LoL been there man, ive had the best luck with iron pipe, all-thread rod, long nuts and jam nuts, then turning two boxed end wrenches on either end. use sil-glide on the threads. then throw the whole mess in the trash and go buy a 12 ton hydraulic press. 😅
That for an obs?
20 ton press from Hobo Freight is one of the best purchases I've made. Paid for itself the first job I used it for.
I made some concoction similar to that to remove s-cam shaft bushings. The real trick is keeping everything true when first starting it out, other wise you get that unfortunate mess 😅
Socket wasn't long enough right?
Adding 3' of pipe over the handle will give you more leverage and possibly save you from a hernia.
If you hit the metal with a hammer while you are cranking on it you will find it will pop right out. Personally I prefer to use a press. If your trying to press sticky balljoints out tap on it with a hammer.

This vid made me subscribe. I can relate so much.
I like all these sounds you made. I do the same things 😂😂😂😂 little bit of anger is helpful 😅😅😅
I heard breaker bars don't ratchet. And air impacts work.
I usually use my air impact. But I’ve actually got the same result from that before too 🤦♂️🤷♂️🤣
Very accurate!
This is the tool you need...🔥
"No pain no gain "💯 💪👌
Would have worked if you used high tensile strength bolt and nut. I've seen it done. Also, when did HowToBasic start making auto repair videos?
