    This is so convenient, no press or c-clamp needed! Props to Honda for making it easier for the 8th Gen Civic, the previous gen was such a hassle.

    Instead of a ball joint separator or pickle fork(I’m poor and stores closed rn), I used a big file and the jack to apply leverage. All you need is a little constant pressure on the top of the ball joint bolt and then repeatedly hit the casing with a hammer.
    (My file broke off at the end first time, so I applied less pressure second time and kept banging and then gave jack a little more pump, and alternated back and forth.)

    Is it easier to replace the control arms and ball joints at the same time? Is there a control arm video for this? Is there a particular order if I were to replace both control arms and ball joints?

    Best to get the ball joint, with grease fitting so you can service them in the future.

    If you notice this video gets paused before the new ball joint is installed. That is because it is nearly impossible to install using this method . At first this video gave me confidence but after changing it like this it was definitely very difficult without removing the knuckle

    If you are going to do this at home in your garage or driveway, start spraying the fasteners with penetrant daily for a few days prior to the job. Kudos to Honda for the bolt-on design. But the upward-facing castle nut is questionable.

      @@1AAuto Actually, when I went to do the job, I ended up using a pickle fork to separate the ball joint because in order to fit the tines of the lower part of my ball joint separator in, I would have needed to remove all of the braking components including the dust shield. A lot of mechanics will scoff at the idea of a pickle fork but I contend that if there is no plan to reuse the thing being separated, it is the fastest and most reliable way the separate the joint.

    I recommend using a cheap pickle fork for the ball joint removal,
    i rented out a similar seperator as the video and it wouldn't fit all the way. but pickle fork worked fine.
