Thanks a lot man I was actually using the tool upside down before I saw this video. Replaced the ball joints on my 93 Corvette no more steering wheel shake!

I just hammered mine out with a 1lb sledge. Took about 3 or 4 hits. Piece of cake. No special tool required for removal, but I did need that to install the new one.

@Greg’s Garage: Great video. Popped one ball joint out in just a few minutes. Took longer to set up my pressing tool (which is like yours) than to press that ball joint out.

thanks that's a great compliment and why I make these videos to show how its really done and how hard it is sometimes.

Interesting video, even if you did use the balljoint press completely backwards. I guess it works. But it would probably have been easier if you used the tool in the correct way. Oh well, nice video either way.

it's backwards?

@@gregs_garage How can you use it backwards? I Just removed a ball joint from the same type control arm with the same kit and it worked just as well as when you did it. I think I even had the same shirt on. Thanks for doing the video!

That's what I was thinking. So much force on that Chinese metal you never know. I'd rather have it slow down a bit first.

This doesn't work very well for a 99-06 2WD sierra/silverados :( they got a wierd ball joint. The Z71 and 4x4 are fine but the 2WD are not unfortunately.

You can do it on the truck with a sledge hammer as easily or possibly easier. Just don't hit your fender!

Any tips for the bushings on the control arms? Removal and replacement. Maybe just a socket and bench vice?
@gregs_garage2 жыл бұрын
those are tough. I took them to a shop and they used a big press to get the old ones out and put new MOOG ones in.
