1995 Ford Econoline E150 - Upper And Lower Ball Joints

[@brobrio]

Yo! You had the best advice for me. If you don't have a press and it won't come out with the hand tool, Take it to a machine shop and have them press them out! I didn't realize the psi these need to come out and would have fought this for days! THANK YOU!!!

[@steveedward2600]

Thanks for doing this video. Best one on the subject of e150 ball joints. Keep them older vans going.

[@OnlineAutoRepairVideos]

Glad you liked it!

[@jayallen408]

this video helped me a lot thank you but after watching this guy with the ball joint puller and the impact gun makes me so glad I have a press

[@OnlineAutoRepairVideos]

I agree with you 100%, that puller SUCKED!!!!

[@jayallen408]

Astral Auto Repairs dude I have to tell you the reason why I picked the video is to find out how to get the spindle off the truck when I saw you whack it with a hammer and it fell I said that man's a genius

[@OnlineAutoRepairVideos]

@@jayallen408 LOL!!!!!

[@jeffrobertson1491]

I've got to hand it to you, you've got perseverance! I've heard mechanics cuss their mothers while taking a front suspension apart. God job!

[@joefisher4630]

Way to get it done. Given me confidence to do my ball joints. Camera angle and position perfect. Thanks

[@OnlineAutoRepairVideos]

Thanks!!! That's great, let us know how it turns out.

[@workingcountry1776]

Saw that set too. Did you end up installing that kit??

[@stanleyfloyd3318]

Very helpful video! Top notch job, and a good teacher, very patient and thorough. Thanks for your help, and I'll definitely be getting a press👍🏻

[@OnlineAutoRepairVideos]

Thanks Stanley Floyd, let us know which press you get. They have some really nice ones now.

[@irvbaugham6704]

I had an estimate of $600 dollars from Total Car Care in Portsmouth,Va for Ball Joint Replacement on my 1996 E-150. "Yikes". This video is really,really good and after watching it ,i will get other estimates as it would be beyond what i would do.Thanks a lot. I subscribed to your Channel.

[@OnlineAutoRepairVideos]

Thanks Irv, hope you are able to find someone who can do this job at a reasonable price.

[@mattdhurley]

Irv Baugham Irv Baugham if anything this video proves WHY they charge $600. This was a two day job for me doing this at home on my e-150. The fact that he ended up having to use a hydraulic press...ouch. Mine were real tough, but ended up using a vice and a breaker bar. Great video man! Helped a lot!

[@OnlineAutoRepairVideos]

THANKS MATT!

[@JamStph]

I appreciate this video bud, it helped me to help a friend out and get his worn joints replaced.

[@OnlineAutoRepairVideos]

No problem at all, and we appreciate that James!

[@beachinit4ever]

Good stuff man, in the middle of doing that on a '98 E-150. Now I'm inspired to finish it!

[@OnlineAutoRepairVideos]

Just out of curiosity, what tools are you using to change them. We tried to use the harbor freight tool, but that was a lot of problems. Thanks for the comment.

[@beachinit4ever]

I don't have a press or the harbor freight tool, done it before (on a '72 IHC Scout II) with a big c-clamp, cheater bar, a large deep socket, lots of elbow grease and a hammer. If I can't get them out with what I have, taking the spindle to a friend's shop to get them out and press the new ones in. I'm putting in the new MOOG Problem Solvers that are supposed to go in easy. Here's a link to the lower - www.rockauto.com/en/moreinfo.php?pk=203538&cc=1304109&jsn=38&jsn=38 I'll find out tomorrow!

[@OnlineAutoRepairVideos]

I would love to see a video on that! Is there any way you can record that?

[@jeffjahns1974]

Damn good video. I do have 1 critique though. Or Just a suggestion. When pressing the top one back in - support it under its own position instead of the bottom. I know it will be much harder to do but in the event that you have to press hard- you will break that casting tab right off.

[@TheHighAngler]

One of the best show how to videos I've seen. You re good at explaining!

[@OnlineAutoRepairVideos]

THANKS!

[@slimdot7031]

Thanks for the video, now I know what I'm going to do next weekend.

[@OnlineAutoRepairVideos]

No problem, and appreciate that! Let us know how the job goes.

[@Beatube6470]

[@WizzRacing]

I invested in a 5lb hammer and 1/2" socket to fit.. One wack with that thing. They come out...Unless you live in the rust belt..........

[@melvinriddick7253]

You're welcome, and thank you!

[@socksonfeet8125]

Dam Im doin my 97 e10 rn, I wish the lower joint at the spindle seperated from the axle that easy hahaha. I been smacking it with a hammer for about an hour now. Wont come out :/, lol. Already heated it up, and put pb blaster, dont know what else to try, any ideas?UPDATE: Nevermind as soon as I posted this I went back out and in super saiyen mode I bashed it again for another 10 minutes straight and it came loose, rust does not play hahaha.

[@OnlineAutoRepairVideos]

LOL, WOW!!!! I would figure after the heat, it would have come off! Are you in a place where there is a lot of rust?

[@tmuttley]

good video man! you're a good teach!

[@bellasvistas3463]

How many miles would you expect to get from a new set of ball joints? Mike Bellas Vistas on KZbin

[@OnlineAutoRepairVideos]

Hey Mike, if the shocks are good, AT LEAST 10 years!

[@bellasvistas3463]

@@OnlineAutoRepairVideos I'm just watching your video. I did all 4 ball joints and had an alignment about 14 months and 25,000 miles ago. There is some play on the driver's side, and what I think is bearing noise, it is less when braking and also on a right hand turn. Please take a look at my last video a repair one.

[@bellasvistas3463]

Great Work! Thanks

[@OnlineAutoRepairVideos]

THANKS!
