This is a really great video thank you. It so clearly shows how to do the job. As a tip, I have found that when something is stuck, threatening the car and saying things like, "Come off you little blighter - or worse", works really well. I learnt that from my Dad who had been a WWII REME mechanic, lol.
Some of the older guys I knew would saunter off, have a cup of tea and then return to find difficult tasks easier. Getting angry at stuff always works for me.
Great vid ) Ive to do this, im in the middle of it, ive allocated 2 weeks cos parts are getting damaged during dis-assembly (tie rod end so far, axle oil seal), so i have to order parts, hence, 2 weeks!
many thanks for this video - I am in the middle of doing exactly this! Had to cut top and bottom ball joints off, and I have exactly the same press tool - I've learned a lot an will putting it into practice tomorrow :-)
Great Video Chris, thanks for sharing. Show no mercy and just grind it off. IMHO nut splitters are generally pants and you can never get them in when you need one... however the principle is great. I've found chain drilling a line of holes into the flat of a seized nut works a charm if you are faced with a nut you cant get the grinder in... rear A frame ball joint nut for example.
Hey Chris, have you ever thought about building a DYI sandblaster so you can remove rust in no time? There are some vids about DYI sandblaster...Just an idea. You already have the compressor, should be an easy task for you. Waiting to see the result from the electrolysis...keep up the videos! Cheers
I got one thinking it would be a saviour for removing rust...hardly ever use it unless I'm forced, horrible things. They can be effective it's just unpleasant and it's a costly set up. You can get decent results with a 3HP 14cfm compressor but there's a lot of waiting around fot it to catch up. To make it usable you need a big compressor, pre-mix tank and a vacuum extractor in a blasting cabinet otherwise you can't see what you're doing. Looking at around £500 for a decent set up and you'll only have enough power to clean small removable parts.
Hi. Great video on the ball joint puller set. Is it the Neilson CT1947 kit. I need to do my ball joints and am in need of a kit suitable for tge discovery 2. Cheers.
The results of the electrolysis process See in this video th-cam.com/video/vfMWqpKnUkY/w-d-xo.html

Nothing beats a good whack! South main auto has some good videos of his big nasty removing some ball joints. Nice vid yet again.
I also have this tool and it have NEVER let me down. It is a great tool and it is a must have.
I just ordered the ball joint removal tool, thanks for showing how it works.
this has to be a 10/10 from bob in derby
Great vid )

Air hammer and a pickle fork.....thats thinkingoutside my 'box' but I like it!! Great video, Chris..
Seen this tool used on big f250. Looks like a good tool looking at getting one fir the bottom ball joint in the transit.
I need to do this on my D2 so it was very helpful, cheers mate.
If you are getting the toll from Fourby tell them you see this video then they will look on us favourably.
More D2 videos? Yes Please!!!!! Cheers!!!!

Isnt'it available on your shop at moment, is it?
Thanks Chris. Really Helpful.
Tell me about that oiler bottle, I've never seen one so stout looking out in the colonies.

Interesting, I've always wanted one, seemed to be very efffective to me. Looks I'm wrong.

should do you fine. Link to the kit is in the description below the video
your videos are an inspiration for me. Thanks for sharing.
Very interesting in all aspects. Do you use the same tools to get the new ball joints back in?
Hopefully.
Same process just take your time.
Good question
Agh! You can't stop there, talk about a cliff hanger, what were the results of the electrolysis rust removal? Great video, sooo glad I have a 300 tdi.
Nice little surprise for you in the next video....
Do you think the D1 or D2 front axle is better to work on?
What is that little blow torch you use? Looks a handy thing to have.
D2 easier Blow lamp here th-cam.com/video/RZivKsKth7w/w-d-xo.html
great one that Chris.
Olá boa tarde gostei muito da presa pode mim mandar contato ou link da loja
Very useful kit by Fourby for sure..but 40£ of delivery to Italy O_o
I have that tool it's awesome but try taking the ball joints off with the axles on it's a bastard😲
was hard on wobbly axle stands.
that is a nice ball joint tool & at £40.00 the diy'er can justify the cost ( unlike the £150 + for S-P )
Can’t be stuck if it’s a liquid 😂
