I was hoping you had some neat affordable fixture to press the ball joints out and in but it appears we all struggle with those no matter what. Thanks for sharing

[@daalhoffarm]

You can just use a hand held ball joint press. But never forget to cut off the front lip of the old ball joint otherwise is wont get out. Its a easy job to install 4 new ball joints with a 80-' tool.

@@daalhoffarm can you send me a link so I can see this tool or give me the name so I can google it. I have another job to do. Thx

@@TheEZGZ hi gregg, just google ball joint press kit". Its a c clamp but it can produce lots of Force. How to: best to remove the vw arm you want to change the ball joint on. Place in a good vice. Cut off the treat part of the old ball joint. Cut of the Secure lip of the old ball joint so you are 100%sure it can move out. ( Just with a grinder going around to cut the little lip) soak in some wd40 or something else, than use the press tool the old ball joint should come out very easy. Clean the boren en chamfer the edges, some grease in, position new balljoint and use the right size push flance or socket and hammer the new ball joint in with a good big hammer. It won't be easy but I've done more than 5 sets like this. Also for bay window bus those are even bigger, and for Typ 1.

I've watched many of your video's. I'm interested in seeing a better photo or video that might describe the small "bump out" on your engine cover. The fabrication looks GREAT... and the change to the overall look of your Bug is very modest. How much Bump Out? What else did you need to do, to get your driveline covered? Photo?

[@eddieamaya]

So do you use the lower ball joints arms for upper and lower? For all 4 ? Do you have a part number for the actual ones you use?

Ese vocho con llantas grandes y altas se ve hermoso, pero ha de costar una fortuna hacerle esas modificaciones.

Loving those pizza cutting wheels. Anyone know if they are 7.00 x 15 Yokohamas?

[@brianchisnell1548]

Are King pins/Link pins stronger than ball joints?
