I did chuckle when your wrench said Dick on it, childish I know but it was like being at school when concentration was high and spotted it haha. Great video by the way mate

[@mgoode180566]

Next time, place a jack under the ball joint to give it some load and stop it spinning as you remove the nut

[@seanpaul3050]

Put a scissor jack under the ball joint. With the weight of the car on it I’m sure the impact gun will easily spin the nut off. When replacing tie rod ball joints I always grease the exposed threads afterwards and also grease the Allen key hole. Makes removal very easy later on.

[@GeorgeAusters]

Good shout mate!

[@mikek1187]

I second Sean's recommendation. The weight will effectively hold the threads solid, ensuring that the impact gun can spin said nut off. For me personally, I always use copper antiseize whenever replacing parts. One, because it works so well, and two, because it's such a unique antiseize. Being that it's unique, when I come back later, I know which parts I replaced or serviced, so I can rule out those parts during troubleshooting (i.e. if I'm trying out parts on say, the suspension system, I know what I've replaced previously, so I can focus on those components that don't have copper antiseize on the threads).

Another great video George love the content mate keep up the good work!!! 😉

[@GeorgeAusters]

Thanks again mate!

[@BryceBrown1]

Great video! Very precise, hard doing the actual job and capturing it all in a way that makes it easy for us to follow. I have had a vibration in my E61 also, turns out I have 2 out of shape rims (style 135) which I'm actually going to have straightened, hopefully. New bushes urethane going into the thrust rods too, and an alignment. So in a way, great timing with the video. Keep up the good work!

[@GeorgeAusters]

Cheers Bryce. It’s not always easy to get the camera right in there with tight spaces but I make my videos with the viewer in mind. I think “what would I like to see if I was watching this along myself” 👍🏻

[@michaelkettleson7317]

If you get a tight bolt you can put a jack under the ball joint and take some of the cars weight which locks the tapers together, allowing the bolt to become tight and you can remove the nut. this works most of the time, also useful for tightening it up again.

[@michaelkettleson7317]

I should add it's worth placing a rubber block or some softwood between a jack and a new trackrod end

[@geoffreycrawley7276]

I have found that if a nut starts turning but then binds, reapplying penetrating oil then "tightening" the nut on the bolt (holding bolt in this case with the T40 torx wrench), reapplying oil, then loosening, the nut will proceed off the bolt.

[@nonsheep5823]

Great video!! Next Christmas pressie George should be a dewalt cordless 5ma grinder ! Doubles up as great wheel clamp remover !

[@GeorgeAusters]

Hahahaha I bet it does😂

Had my 2016 120d remapped today in Cardiff, it was 185 hp, 415 nm and now its 223 hp 522 nm. Its like a different car

[@GeorgeAusters]

522nm from a 120d?!

[@bastaboom163]

My mechanic told me i have to change bushings on the lover control arms to get rid of the vibration on my F07

[@kardan1984]

Nice one George, where is cutting tool there is always the way. This time I got lemförder and hope it will last longer than 40k km 👍. Good luck and keep doing well!

[@SirVirconium]

Hi George, I have a bmw e90 318i, I was wondering if you could help me out. When driving along at say 40 mph and also at 60 mph I can hear quite an annoying high pitched "metallic" noise. At first I thought it was the differential making the noise - I have since done an oil change on the diff but this did not make much difference at all. Would you have any suggestions as to where to check next? Thanks!

Where can i find Bentley naveda repair manual e60 5series?

[@bastaboom163]

What about vibration on the steering wheel on the high speed ? Is it still there pal ?

[@thedetailingdoctor5746]

Pry bar and blow torch next time mate ☝️

[@GeorgeAusters]

I done that on the E60 and E46 but honestly it’s more effort, much easier just to cut it off in the end👌🏼

[@thedetailingdoctor5746]

@@GeorgeAusters I’ll bare that in mind. And dw I haven’t forgot to message you just busy this week refitting out the shop BIG updates coming

[@deundreaverett3623]

I‘m sure you got it all covered.

[@GeorgeAusters]

Yeah man!

[@dgr9112]

Hi George did this also solved the vibrations on steering wheel from 60 to 70 mph ?

[@GeorgeAusters]

Unfortunately not, 90% sure it’s wheel balancing issue

[@dgr9112]

@@GeorgeAusters I have the same issue but i have done the equilibration 3 times. Took my rims to the professional they perfectly fine. Can"t find out why the steering wheel is still vibrating. Maybe this ill help me, will try out.

[@calumbrown3947]

Where did you recommend getting the grinder fella? That would save many a sad day when a bolt is wrecked! Great vid as always mate
