I work at a shop and honestly sometimes we really have some trouble with pressing in ball joints. I personally dont think $50 is too bad of a price. Sometimes we end up charging customers quite a bit more for how much time we have to spend getting em in😂
That was kinda rough to watch,, I was screaming to put a bolt in between the A-Arms so it wouldnt compress while pressing in the bushings. Got that tech tip from a utube video when removing the bushings.That being said video was very educational. Gonna be on that step soon on my 68 Firebird.
@@ArrowheadGarage LOL, i saw the arms bending and almost spilled my coffee. LOL.. I used a bolt with a nut to remove my bushings. Thank God I stumbled on a video on it..Your doing a great Job Brother! Very Inspirational.
Nolan just watched it and his words were “NO WAY!! You kidding me? That’s my merch!” You made his day and another great video.
Heck ya!!! Tell him I LOVE my Rowdy Rooster shirt!!!!
Good call on the Rowdy Rooster merch. Im going to have to pick me up a few shirts
Awesome to hear Jake, thank you!
🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥
Keep up the good work on your Firebird and new tee shirt designs!!!!! You’re awesome kid!
Did u try n freez the ball joints over night. It's always worth a try. Before paying 50 buks for half hour job
CRAP... I didn't think about that! I guess I was so done fighting that I was like SCREW IT!!! Next time, going to drop them in our freezer!!!

I got one ball joint in with the tool and I wanted to throw it away with how frustrating it was. It kept going in crooked.

Damn it, I didn't show that in the video did I??? I used an impact socket to make sure the metal didn't collapse in on itself. Good eyes!

funny how awkward it is to hold and smack by yourself. i like using the press for stuff like that. anyway good job brother see you on the next one
If only I had a shop press... maybe now is the time to get one! LOL Thanks for watching Mike
@@ArrowheadGarage harbor freight has one that is actually good enough for a lot of things
Freezer for the bushings. They will go in easier.
P. S. Why not poly bushings?
Great tip to toss them in the freezer, and I wanted to stay with original rubber for this build.
man no bracing and crushed that aarm in when pressing the bushing in
