You forgot to grease that bearing. Also a small tip here would be to pull the axle from the dif and apply anti seize to the spline. Makes it so much easier to change if you mangle one on the trail...
What advice would you give someone that is having trouble getting the upper ball joint unstuck from the knuckle? Tapping it isn’t cutting it for me. Great vid btw
The best way we have found to do this is to tap the knuckle all the way around the circumference of the area the ball joint goes in. this doesnt seem like it would work but surprisingly if you continue to top on this section it knuckle pops off. If you plan on replacing the balljoint completely you can also use a ball joint fork to pop it out of there. Just be aware it will tear up the boot so you will need to replace the ball joint with that method. Hope this helps and if you need any more info or explanation feel free to cal us at the shop. 318-221-7097.
You the man, Manny!!!

Nice video but what about greasing the bearing?
