Can u put a link to a cheaper ball joint press please Chris or anyone?
So, you use Advance Auto Part's press to replace the ball joint sourced from another business? Real honest.

Very good training. You saved me a lot of money…!
The paper towel trick on the socket was awesome man thank you
I didn't know they had permanent pressed ball joints, good to know and thanks for the vid
Hey guys need a little help!
I'm looking to do this soon. in order to pass an inspection (VT). They claim it won't pass for 'driveabilty' reasons and noted that "My passenger side lower ball joint has a fair amount of play and will likely need replacing in order to pass" The drivers side is fine. I HAVE A 2003 RANGER
Some questions I'd like input on:
1) How does this process/steps differ from the Mazda vs. Ranger?
2) Are torque specs the same?
3) how do I know how much grease to put in (how much is too much?) AND what kind of grease should be used?
4) Is it necessary to do BOTH balljoints when I just need to change one side?
5) How do i test if it was done correctly?
6) Any other tips for using the balljoint presser tool? Can you over press it?
I hope someone can answer my questions. Or atleast some of them?
PS. excellent videos Chris!
I have a few questions

Do you have to worry about alignment when replacing ball joints?

I am going to be replacing my lower ball joint but the new ones dont have a zerk fitting on them, and i have seen conflicting things some people say to use a grease needle to inject grease into it. other say using a needle will just make them wear out faster. Help??
Is there really no way of pressing the ball joint in without a press?

How do i know ball joint is bad or worn?
God damn watching this very detailed video. The task intimidated me. Wish me luck 😅
Years ago took my Olds to Sears for ball joints. That grease monkey did not have a press, just a hammer. The first swing severed my brake hose. I've had nightmares about ball joints ever since. This vid is therapeutic.
Nice job!
I am Indian man thanks
