    In 1975 i unbolted everything i could find off my 65 Malibu
    My jack stands were un split pine fire wood.
    Somehow the spring missed my HEAD when it came flying out!
    My Daddy was near by and herd all the noise of that spring coming out.
    Stopped me and said/stop before you kill youself.
    We.ll get Charlie Turner over here next week with a sheet of plywood and a floor jack and get the taller springs installed for you.

    What type of tool was that that you used to remove the tie rod assembly?

    • @jackwadeiv956
      @jackwadeiv956 Год назад

      Pickle fork tool. Also known as a ball joint separator.

  • @robertstoddard8027
    @robertstoddard8027 7 лет назад +1

    The ball joints are unlikely to “pop” loose with a couple strikes on the spindle. The concept is that the vibration of striking the spindle will cause the ball joint to come loose with the help of the spring providing the tension to separate it from the spindle. On my 1971 Pontiac Lemans, the ball joints would not come loose. No amount of hitting the spindle with a 21 lb hammer would loosen them. I ended up having to cut the ball joints odd to remove the upper and lower control arms. Then I still could not hammer them out and I had to resort to heating the sonde and hammering them out. Just be aware that the most difficult part of this video process procedure might be getting the ball joints loose and being able to raise the upper control arm and lower the lower control arm and remove the spindle assembly. He makes it look easy...it probably wont go that easy.

      Yes it will. I have done hundreds this way. You need to reach down and make sure you have a set of balls. If you can't find them in the usual location you need to get them out of your wife's purse when she's not looking. Once you have your set of balls, you swing the hammer like a god damn man and the ball joints will come loose.

      @@shopdog3g You have to be lying. Are you seriously implying that out of the "hundreds" of times you've done this you had to go smoothly every single time? There isn't a single person on the face of this planet that has had an easy time doing ANYTHING 100% of the time. Your balls aren't worth anything if you spend your life trying to be cool and lying at every opportunity to people who know a great deal more than you ever will.

    Terrible way to remove a spring , No compressor needed , Just put a floor jack under lower control arm and lower it down after taking off ball joint nuts ,And cracking knuckles loose with a hammer, Install spring with a long pry bar under spring pry into place, Then jack arm back up , Did 100s of them in 42 years as a suspension mechanic , Never once needed a compressor , Compressor takes 3 times as long and more dangerous when the compressor comes apart

      then why don't YOU put the same effort into posting a how to vid that this guy did? In the mean time, some of us will choose to do it the safer way than you will. Front coil springs aren't going to respect you once they let loose.

      @@anthonysantiago1999 Thanks for your comment Ant, but as for me, I HAVE seen it done without a spring compressor, and I think using a prybar to peel the old spring out of the control arm pocket, and then using a hammer and/or prybar to get the new spring in, is the caveman/hack way of doing it. I don't care how many guys do it that, way, I won't be one of them. If you're using a cheap piece of junk forty dollar spring compressor, then ofcourse you'll have to worry about it failing. I bought the OTC brand compressor, and it's a stout quality tool.

      I agree coil spring compressor is not a must for REMOVAL of the coil spring. However, I would not INSTALL a coil spring without a compressor.

      but most people have so many pics on their cell phone that they have a tough time finding some of them. So even here in 2021 I'll still use tape with marker as well as my cell phone to take pics.
