How video

[@DM-lf8bn]

Wow! Thanks for this. You make it way simpler than others.

[@captainron7904]

Great video simple not to much talking and taking up time just what i needed to do this job on my 96 this weekend

[@maestromania3391]

Thank you for posting this video. Saved me lots of time & money!

[@chrisdavis9556]

You are very welcome

[@fj5gtx770]

I used the small piece that you used for the top joint, got fused to the ball joint - having a really hard time getting that piece off the joint ! Thinking use the large one first, get the joint moving - then move to using that small piece to finish it off.

[@brendaleetv]

Wow! I just broke 2 ball joint presses! Trying to take off the driver's bottom ball joint. On a 2006 Ram 2500 4x4, I just bought a Makita corldless 1,200 lbs of unbolting power and it didnt even move, so now I think I broke the impact, but its new so its still under warranty.

[@whiteoak60]

Thankyou excellent video

[@chrisdavis9556]

Yes it is . And you can rent the ball joint press from O'Reilly's but if you don't want to return it you can just keep it same price.

[@ricardorodriguez-se7tp]

Now thats how you do a video in and out Perfect Great job Bro im from West Dallas.

[@chrisdavis9556]

Thanks man I'm gonna do a new video with the new matco ball joint press next weekend.

[@ricardorodriguez-se7tp]

@@chrisdavis9556You dont play around you do what you have to do which ball joint press can you use for Ford 250-550 and Dodge 2500-5500 i have check Snapon or OTC Matco

[@chrisdavis9556]

I spent $1200.00 on the new matco press there is a video of it on youtube. The thing I hate with the normal press is I had to modify alot of my adaptors to fit the rams which sucks

Great vidéo help alot

[@__WJK__]

Great video! Anyone by chance know the ball joint spacer kit # w/the mini-spacer and large beveled spacer?

[@toddlindley6459]

I had to heat them up with the torch and they slowly popped out with tool pressing on them.

[@kccarl2582]

great video!!! thanks for posting. using video on install now. lol put a bungy strap on that brake caliper!!!

[@chrisdavis9556]

Lol I replaced them

[@D_Snapp_Garage]

Do you usually get away with not having to replace the front axle shaft seals inside the axle tubes? My luck, I will get mine all back together only to see gear lube leaking out the axle.

[@chrisdavis9556]

Kelly Snapp as long as they are not leaking before hand. If you do you must be able to re align the front ring and pinion.

[@HDmech81]

hanging the brake caliper from the damn hose! come on guys!! SMH

[@chrisdavis9556]

i didnt show but yes we replaced all the brakes on the truck including hoses due to old age.

[@cheeseandpickles98]

That's not old my 88 chevy is old

[@tannerfriend7979]

Even if they're getting replaced I would still get fired for doing that it's a major safety hazard and that's from a guy who thinks sending trucks 30 feet off Dunes is fun...

[@chrisdavis9556]

Bought mine at oriellys and the adapters at harbor freight

[@__WJK__]

Appreciate that.... is it the harbor freight adapter kit that actually has the shaved/wedge styled adapter?

[@brianangelhoyos8428]

What's the name of the press kit or #

[@musclepharm867]

Where did you get the ball joint press is there a certain kind to get? Would the harbor freight 4wd press kit work on these dodge 2500 diesel trucks?

[@selimyenahc3184]

Did it work? About to pull the trigger as well.

[@chrisdavis9556]

I will be making a video next month I got the new macto ball joint press for the 2500 up trucks it is awesome

[@jakblak8949]

Now do one for a 2016 up HD Ram...

[@chrisdavis9556]

I just ordered the same press.

[@adrianlowe20]

I did mine like you did yours One side has negative camber alot now Old ball joints are not adjustable and were exact same kind as new ones Why is this?

[@chrisdavis9556]

If you have negative camber you need to get a positive camber upper ball joint they do make them.

[@oc4196]

Do you happen to have the part numbers of the tools you used?

[@juanavila9564]

AutoZone has the 23 piece press kit

[@HeatherPennington-xc3dj]

Can this method be used for 2018 dodge 2500

[@chrisdavis9556]

for the most part it should

[@mopedwarehouse]

Used this exact same procedure on about a dozen Ram 2500. Doesn't work if you're from the Northeast obviously. Each time I've tried it I've ended up pushing the ball though the top of the joints housing.

[@terrellscaife2411]

Awesome shit

[@nonsequitur807]

It would make better sense to show the set up than the frigging impact tighting...

[@lordofwar1234]

How many foot pounds is that impact gun

[@chrisdavis9556]

800

[@daviddean7377]

Put a bigger pulley on your compressor and she'll hit harder...

[@rmarty9907]

What was your tool make and model number?

[@chrisdavis9556]

It was the one you get at O'Reilly

[@danielnickerson1762]

I live in snow country...It doesn't work so simple here lol.

[@daviddean7377]

Yea buddy! Minnesota iron belt here and the extra hours dealing with rusty parts...... Squirrel piss, lots of heat and a BFH!!! We'll get er.....

[@jeffpiatek2461]

Ever work on a truck in the rust belt? Southern mechanics could never work up north without being retrained.

[@chrisdavis9556]

Actually I I have worked on trucks that came from up North and yeah I had to rebuild the entire truck so if that was the attempt at an insult sorry you failed
