Chris ,have lower ball joint won't come out, tried heat, tappin on it, lube it, any idea? have removal tool.
ball joint repair or replacement?🤔

Aero Kroil. That's my favorite penetrating oil.
This video really helped me, though my all joints press the reverse way. The video enlightened me as to what I needed to do and what tool to use. Thanks.
"These 'how-to videos' are a great learning tool.' By this time you should be familiar to the vocabulary spoken here.
Wrong video to ask but if im doing the upper and my springs have coil spacers in them can i remove my uppers without popping them out ?
All you need is a hammer to bang it out an a floor jack to press is back in
Shut up about the rust belt. No one cares
Nice job. You have a new subscriber.
I am having trouble putting the new O-ring around the ball joint what did you use?
Great tutorial!! But, be honest, did you forget to reconnect the abs? Lol
Thank U‼️
"hey guys this is a short summary video" still shows a way better video than 99/100 YT'ers…
