How To Replace A Ball Joint Without Press #semperfimechanic #mobilemechanic #howto

That single swing of the hammer is kinda sus

One more 🚬 cigarette and done ✔️

Awesome man. You make it look easy and I have these tools. And could have done that. You ever order a part like a lower control arm and it don’t fit ? 05 dodge Dakota. Skp arm from Rick auto and too big can’t get it it. Other side is a different brand that was on sale and went right in.

I wish they were all that easy.

And that's how you do it all wrong. Shade tree at its finest

That c clip ain’t even seated in the groove😂😂haha hack

I swear those redneck mechanics can fix anything on the planet with a basic set of tools. I love it. Respect 🙏

Mechanic porn 🤫🤤🤙🏽

Lol😂

I did the same thing because I didn't have a ball joint press kit!! What I DID have was a C clamp and a gate post cap😂😂 it was a major headache because it was 14⁰ outside. Wish I had come across this video 2 weeks ago when I was actually searching smh. Got the job done, but on my passenger side, I just replaced the whole lower control arm. It cost a bit more, but I just looked at it as a convenience fee🤷🏿‍♂️ Took that repair from a 9 hour trial and error physics calculation to a simple 3 hour step by step process.

U kno he a wrench spinner.. he called them DIKES 😊.. NOT WIRE CUTTERS

Dude you have no business showing anyone how to do anything… please stop!

Called “Going the extra mile” for the customer..

Great video ✌🏻🤧👍🏻

I'll bet he's 375 #

Sounds like he needs another carton of CAMEL non filter cigarettes

Did ya notice the ball joint press beside him? Now do the top one.😊

Thats cheapest looking balljoint setup i ever seen

Mans made his own press w a socket and a c clamp. Crazy

Slick semper Fi brother oooorah keep up the good work man alright Cool 💯💯👍👍😎

Rent the ball joint press doing it once if using it once

I put mine in the freezer

But our shop has the correct tools.

Bam margera?

Great info! Grab yourself a pair of snap ring pliers. They have sets that come with internal & external heads. Got mine pretty cheap at Advanced Auto but maybe Amazon has them even cheaper.

More like how to be a fucking moron and try to teach other ppl how to be fucking morons

Is this Alex Jones ? 😂

I got a WJ with a 4.5 lift and used this method lol 😆....I used my torch to make it easy but it works rather quickly....I live in Colorado so no rust up here just dry rot since it's basically a mile high desert

Is it the same process when we're sober?...

You didn't use a press but used a C clamp as a press.

This naybr so tuff he could have done this w/no tools whatsoever. Just his hands and teeth. Respect

If you can put a ball joint in with a 🗜️ there's something wrong should be harder than that

I do ball joints on a regular basis that socket wasn't going to work the ball joint is bigger than the socket

The Ball joint was already out when he hit it

Good Idea . Pep Boys and Auto Zone have loan a tool program . I borrowed their press and a larger fork to do ball joints on my Chevy Van .

Get the right fucking tools for the job

Man I'm going to take all my Snap-on Master press ,and all the expansion packs ,and just throw them in the garbage ,and get myself a yard sale C-clamp now.

I can hear the crybabies already "You cant do it like that, your supposed to do it with a press"! Well there's a million ways to do something, whatever gets the job done.

I tried that on a grizzly in alaska.. ended up using a 1/4 of acetylene tank

😮😮😮😮😮😮 you said dykes you cant do that youll hurt the lgbtq community feelings 😂😂😂😂😂😂😂

RIP fedsmoker you always were a cool guy

Why would you do this when literally every AutoZone in America has a ball joint press kit that you can borrow for free? Work smarter not harder.

Ol skool😊😊

I think it’s easier to drive to the auto parts store and use the loan a tool lol

Do you do any work on diesels? I need to do an injector pump for my gen1 duramax... any tips?

I tried it this way and bent my Mastercraft C clamp all to fuck. Also, my 3 pound mall didn't do the job either FFS. Hammered the side of my thumb with it too and gave up for the day. My brother in law had a press, it worked like dream. I bought one on market place two days later for $60 Canadian. End of true story no one asked for.

When I got problems sliding it in a bit I called her pretty and she gives in

Wow, what vehicle is that? Looks really easy to work on

drunk voice hahahaha

Ain't nothing wrong with that. People been doing that for 100 years.

Bro sounds like he’s 12 bud lights deep into the football game
