How to replace a ball joint on a T25

Very good video! Thanks

Great video! I have almost finished this job using this as a guide. Had to get an engineering shop to press ball joint in though. They made up a C-shaped ring (from an old bearing) that fitted around the ball joint's 'skirt'; this got around the tight gap where the flat side of the skirt is close to the stub axle casting. The engineer said wouldn't possibly have drifted in and had to use his 10-tonne hydaulic press. Charged me £20.... Also - do make sure you buy the FEBI one from JK, not the budget one. The original circlip will need to be ground down to fit into the new ball-joint slot. Easy to do though. Can I ask a question? There's no way to get a torque wrench on the lower ball joint nut (top one too) 'because the threaded part needs holding with a spanner. How tight to do them up? Thank you SO MUCH for doing this life-saving video - liked and subscribed!

Using a drift doesn't work. I spent a lot of trying to do it thAt way and it won't work.

Hi, if not working it would be worth warming up the area around the ball joint on the hub as it sounds like you may have corrosion between the hub and the ball joint. Plenty of soaking with a maintenance spray before hand will help. Hope that helps!
