Great video. Highly detailed and excellent dialogue.

[@SirGolfalot-]

Good Video. I work on a 2011 Equinox and your video gives me the encouragement to get 'er done'. 👍

[@Barnekkid]

Good video, Mark. This is real world material.

[@timkishelov9489]

Useful video. I need to change a front wheel's ball joint. It's original and has the rivets. Thanks!

[@bestchoiceaccess9928]

Very well explained step by step instructions. Thank you.

[@soaringfreedomgiraffe393]

Thx for the video. Remember to bend the cotter pin for the castle nut , further out of the way of the front axle boot

6:33 "Alright let's cut some nuts" LOL

[@johnlowell8421]

Ya, you were lucky here because that ball joint had been replaced before, therefore you didn’t need to drill out the factory rivets.

[@unkowntrooper1657]

Ratcheting wrenches are your friend, word of advice

[@tiffanyshum9420]

Very informative video. Question though, we are replacing a factory ball joint and got the ball joint out and the top of the reveits off but the base of it won’t come out.. we have attempted : heating them up, drilling them, a punch and a hammer, air hammer. Any suggestions to get them out ?

[@jjreed1554]

Just get a new control arm at that point.

[@Traderdasilva]

Very good job.

[@lewisellis7608]

well done

[@nogripes]

Thank you, glad it helped!

[@078steve]

Great video next time use a ratchet wrench

[@jjreed1554]

Why did you cut instead of unscrewing the old bolts?

[@lyndonk2407]

Thank you sir...

This ball joint remover from Amazon doesn't destroy the seals of the ball joints, and works better than a pickle fork, if simply beating on the steering knuckle or on the lower control arm with a 3 lb. hammer doesn't encourage the ball joint to release from the steering knuckle, once the castle nut has been loosened, but not removed.

What size pickle fork did you use?

[@sentryconstructionllc5594]

I'm no car expert as you can probably guess. WTF would GM rivet a "wear part" onto a vehicle??

[@자세히-w7t]

나이스 🙌

[@ChrisTheAppleOne]

Lmao on my 2013 I’ve replaced 3 of these 😂

[@BearCat459]

Just drilled out the rivets from the old ball joints. But my Moog ball joints bolts are to big for the holes. I've been told to drill out the holes to 1/2in what's your thoughts on that?

[@Anonymous-it5jw]

Better use of your time to buy a new lower control arm, which includes a new ball joint already installed, and new bushing on the inner pivot points.

[@soaringfreedomgiraffe393]

What did you end up doing

[@BearCat459]

@@soaringfreedomgiraffe393 drilled the holes out. Still had enough meat to hold fine and been driving on it for 8 months and put a lot of miles on it with no problem. If you are concerned about drilling them out I would recommend getting a new lower arm that has the ball joint in it.

[@soaringfreedomgiraffe393]

BearCat459 I just put a cheap ball joint in today and a bearing, because of broken abs ring. My three bolts that bolt hub to bearing were too big and cv edge was hitting the bolts 🤦🏻‍♂️ , so I reused original bolts.

wow that is going to be way more than 30 ft-lbs

my question is all through my years cars came equipped with greaseable joints and tie rods. i find it hard to excuse not continuing the very parts that never failed. is one vehicle manufacturer just went back to some stupid simple parts it might make owning a vehicle worth it. only that could never happen. they are too dam stupid to do what makes sense. like a couple of dam zerk fittings would bankrupt those money hungry vultures that stand in their showrooms waiting for their next human schit wagon to walk in and rip off. they keep blowing smoke about worthless hybrid and electric junk. tesla just schit canned to people simply because they went assuming because that CEO own a 80 foot yacht with auto pilot and gps navigation steering he could copy it into a car. which is total bs. beings a life long yacht tech you still have to be on constant alert and lookout. for other vessels, marker poles, bridges, etc. they are not without what can be serious problems. yet being on the Chesapeake bay, i have seen a 40 foot searay yacht plow into that bay bridge. all because the idiot was passed out drunk and went thinking auto pilot meant Artificial intelligence steering/ navigation. yeah well when he plowed into that giant concrete support he got his wake up call. and probably told the judge the bridge piling just jumped out in front of him. duh. no way will a car be able to see a stop sign, road or right lane closed or a traffic light changing colors. set aside any other spontaneous issue that requires a real brain to react with. tesla just don't know what the word no means. they have tried to break into the auto market for years. and why not. because the current automakers already have too much competition. its already to the point of buy a car drive it once then crush it. well we don't have 50, 60 thousand to just buy a piece of battery operated bunny junk. and ain't never gonna. they even considered putting airbags on harleys. like that ain't some kind of joke. if i had an electric vehicle and wanted to travel the country i'd have to schedule it for the duration of a frickin year. that's if i could even do it. most likely china will rule the automotive world. not because of the american brand name. nut for every single piece of junk that gets it made. try dodge caliber i owned. if i hadn't sold it. i would have spent more to own it than i paid for it. and it only had 74,000 miles and was ready for the car crusher. rust bucket total electrical malfunctioning JUNK HEAP! built by your famous Mercedes bums!
