Honda and Acura Ball Joint Replacement | Step by Step Instructions

[@Haze121201]

You can also place the ball joint in the freezer before installing, that will help the ball joint shrink a little before install

After using an impact driver to remove the phillips head screws from the rotors of my son's Civic, we donated them to the trash can.

[@CarsNToys]

Yes. This tool does the trick every single time without stripping the fasteners: kzbin.info/www/bejne/roSlap1oes2apbM

[@charnski1]

Thanks so much, I did the lower control arm too and took me a full day due to that stubborn ball joint. I have more tools now 😂

[@CarsNToys]

Glad it helped

[@conradgarcia9389]

Thanks so much for your explanation, you are really good mechanic and a good person who share knowledge to others, thanks again

[@catfisher420]

What did you do about the sleeve you pulled out of the lower control arm with the ball joint?

[@adkish19]

Best tutorial ever not like the trq channel who cut the video cause he messed up and all of a sudden he installed a new assembly without mentioning why he got a new one lol

[@bushikciwa]

All of their videos are complete garbage

[@JohnS-il1dr]

Avoid MOOG in 2023. They are outsourced built in 16 different countries depending on the cheapest contract bidding.

[@elmanramirez6772]

Exelent video..! Explain all details on the must import part which is the ball joint removing and replacing ..!

[@rhemyis]

You did all the operations by the book and I like it, one question please for a detail I have a doubt, is it a good idea to lubricate the ball joint before slide it into the knuckle? I know that will help to slide easier but also would that be a concern and be prone to escape from the knuckle after installing especially for those ball joints that come without a snap ring? Thank you

[@Kile345]

Good job I been doing this process several times . I love Hondas 😅

[@leonel1397]

I notice the input shaft is smaller on the new on then on thee old one that is a bit thicker si you. Just install the new one and it played and just torqued it down. ?

[@andrewmeyer2642]

Just FYI, you can also use the ball joint tool to remove the ball joint as well

[@LiilTyweezy]

what brand ball joint press u use i need to know thanks

[@sangjunlee8806]

Would you let me know what kind of balljoint install kit? My car is 2002 acura tl type s.

[@jeffwilliam5525]

Do I need to remove the ring that sits in the knuckle? Does it impede the installation of the new ball joint?

[@SocorroVargas-i4i]

The one you took off was bigger than the one you put on? Did you add anything or does it not matter?

[@harley07sg]

You make it look simple. Thank you for the help.

[@sixwhip14]

Man, that's one rust free car you worked on. Good video.

[@LongTimeTTFan]

Thanks a lot. You're explaining all the details of the tools and tips on each step. Very informative. Very helpful.

[@CarsNToys]

Glad it was helpful!

[@Richiebones]

Hey brother I have a 2021 honda accord lx and it has a bolt on lower ball joint with 3 bolts can I do that 1 on the car without removing the knuckle. It doesn't have a upper ball joint the lower 1 is attached by 3 bolts to the lower control arm and has a castle nut on the top

[@angelwalker.]

Yes those are easy

[@ygbodybuilder3023]

So dealer said on my repair sheet for 2014 honda accord ( both front lower ball joint boot splits ) so what acutal part do i need

[@JohnS-il1dr]

Once the boot splits you might as well replace LBJ as it got contaminated by outside dirt and moisture.

[@rottenapple604]

Awesome very informative.

[@johnnyblaze2627]

Nice what brand ball joints did you use?

[@garagesociety9907]

Great Video. I follow for your work. 👍🏻

[@pasckymix]

So you didn’t use any of the two adapter?

[@Epro95]

I've seen other videos where they cut the ball joint with a cut off wheel and pound on it that way

[@anthonymerc220]

Can you do one for the bushings on lower control arm for that Acura tl? It would be nice to see how you change those out with hand tools.

[@alexandercahoulan6583]

Its more logical to just buy the whole assembly instead of replacing the compliance bushings. I bought two new LCA's from Rock Auto. I think it was 75$ each. Eric the Car guy has a video on changing out compliance bushings on this car. Its a bitch even with all the professional tools he has. After finishing the job he even said, "its not worth the hassle. Just buy the LCA assembly."

[@alexandercahoulan6583]

The job of replacing the LCA's is tough enough. lol I bought Beck Arnley ones on Rock Auto. They work great. High quality. Could be OEM. Beck Arnley I mean. The bushing closest to the front of the car was horribly ripped. Im assuming you have same issue. Hope i assisted you in some way. I just had to say something cause Ive been down that rabbit hole. lol

[@anthonymerc220]

@@alexandercahoulan6583 the non oem bushings do not last long

[@anthonymerc220]

Many people said less than a year or two on the TLs with non oems.

[@CarsNToys]

Good question. Alexander is correct. It's not worth the time and energy. You can simply purchase a new part at an affordable price.

[@Hoodbane]

I have a question what was the car doing that you had to change the ball joint ?

[@blazeaglory]

20 yo car?

[@Car1Sagan]

That's the lower ball joint. What about the upper one at the top of the upper control arm?

[@jesuslucero5073]

Buy a new control arm

[@blazeaglory]

Lol... it just unbolts with 2 bolts. Can't always buy new. Not available or just plane expensive.

[@oldpostreviver2624]

does anyone know what ball joint press for accord 2013?

[@charliediver1560]

great video , thanks for sharing .

[@brixtion]

Good job saving this

[@TheCastedone]

What size is the axle nut

[@shaunzulu4591]

36mm

[@hondaslave-kd6hi]

You forgot torque spec on upper control arm. Thanks

[@thepiecesfit5049]

It really sucks that for the money Honda charges for the OEM parts, they do not include the castle nut or cotter pins.

[@ygbodybuilder3023]

Wait a min its videos showing you dont have to remove the upper arm

[@mrbigbuds1745]

He’s talking like his wife is watching him do it 😂

[@jamesfederer5592]

Such a bad design to have a ball joint installed on the knuckle. It would be much easier to install if it is on the control arm.

[@themechanic4222]

By the way , the gloves are sucks, they break quickly even they’re $$$

[@CarsNToys]

I tend not to wear them in the summertime simply for that reason.

[@rongnui1]

I didn’t see you torch the upper ball joint? What is the torch please. Thanks

[@monkeyking-self-proclaimed7050]

Looks so damn easy. I wonder if it is my tool kit. I aligned it evenly and hand tighten. Then tighten with ratched and breaker bar fairly far in. Still evently align. Slowly go in with the impact and it becomes uneven.
