Yup, I'm buying that now. I usually throw the nut on and toss the socket over the nut and hit the socket with the air hammer. Tired of destroying the squares though, this is perfect.
Nope I’ve done plenty of them and the problem is these dealer guys have to buy every single exact tool swing it with a hammer by time you walk over get the tool get the air hammer get your earmuffs it’s already out compromise
Wish it was that easy on my 2000 Silverado. Have to spend a bunch more time drilling out 4 big rivets on each lower control arm to put the new ball joints on.
Just about to do this job. Can you then remove the axle and press it out like this? With just the bottom popped. Or do you also need to take off the upper control arm bolts?
It didn’t remove the balljoint it just separated the lower control arm from the steering knuckle. If you look, the balljoint is still pressed into the vertical steering knuckle. Air hammers are cool though. I’m going to use a “pickle fork” to separate mine since I don’t have air tools and remove the steering knuckle and try the press/remover and if that doesn’t work use a 2lb hammer.
@@jasonalward4720 on some cars that’s actually the harder part. Air hammer or a bj press makes the removal and installation of the ball joint easy, let’s not forget the bolt on ball joints either.

@@BCautosolutions not everyone owns a air compressor and an air chisel, that's why I said cheaper. Also you are more likely to get Raynaud's syndrome useing vibrating air tools compared to hand tools. Pretty common for mechanics too. Look it up if you think I'm lieing.

I like the part where you removed the entire knuckle and pressed out the ball joint to remove it.
Anyone removing the knuckle off a car for ball joint replacement, is wasting time and doesn’t have the right tools.
@@BCautosolutionsbut sir, how do you press that ball joint out with that axle right there if you ain't gonna take it out.

Or use the old nut, a disposable socket, and hammer. Either air or otherwise. Neat little tool tho
Yup, that works as well 👍🏻
I mean every mechanic should have an air compressor
Yeah I would say so
At home lol
Smoke the side of the ball joint with a hammer is just as fst and you dont need a compressor,air chisel or a lift
Not if it’s a 13-17 accord
