[ima14yearoldmechanic]

i have that ratchet and im 15 and paid like 10 bucks for it.

[transmission35]

just cause you cant get the brakes of buy yourself doesnt mean you shouldnt try i hate people like that. some people just need to put in a little more effort

[NikeBlazer623]

HATE YOUTUBE COMMERCIALS! -_-

[vtwinmesa]

hehehe its sticking down from the lower arm , but its suposed to be sticking up from it XDDDD

[cbr900rr919]

@vtwinmesa the spindle goes on the bottom of the lower control arm so it is right. not all ball joints point up for the lower control arm. most of them do but this one dont.

Nate, I think you do a great job with your videos and your safety tips are excellent. I tried this for the first time. Can't seem to get the lower ball joints to install or press up? No problem with the uppers!

[mhatkins]

Could you do a video on replacing ball joints on early to mid 1990s Chevy Astros/GMC Safari vans?

[kreigsmann]

wtf

[therealswarvey]

Excellent demo. Had to do this to my AU Falcon this morning. Much the same except the balljoint is inverted in the lower arm, requiring a slightly different technique. I got my press from a U.S seller for approximately $150 AUD inc shipping on eBay. Received it within 4 days!

[WHEREtheFUNK]

why did you put the text infont of the video? cant see what you are doing

[fmfpower20]

yea real helpful! not i have a 03 dodge dakota, and you dont do any of this and none of your vids show a dodge. mine you have to drill the studs out and the replacement ball joints come with bolts instead. can you get a vid on that?

[xialildawg]

its a fuckin peace of shit dodge they dont pressi n they thread in completely different shut the ufck up

[fmfpower20]

Well i guess you dont know what your talking about. On any dodge truck the top and bottom ball joints have metal studs holding them in place. You would be right but i have an OEM BALL JOINT .On the aftermarket ones they are held in place by a nut and bolt.... So you shut the fuck up and learn how to spell.

@fmfpower20

[pyro8818ak47]

screw you bud my balljoint tool has a 1 inch hex so you dont know everything

[amir2980]

[circusfreak777]

is that all people do on youube is just bash each other? this is a video on ball joints, why do we hostility?

[blojay47]

thanx i found this very useful and i have to install mine upside up on my mustang

[QQTrick1QQ]

2000 Silverado 4x4 has no snap ring so does it press up or down??

[Megatron1764]

Why did you put it in upside down?

[TheBobby73]

This is actually a Ford F150. Are they installed "upside down" also?

[ferrari347]

well actually its a ford f150 look above his head at the end of the video ive never heard of a chevy f150 have you?

[walyll0]

well actually you are a douche if you had of read the posts then you may have a brain in your head...to bad for you

[ferrari347]

dont need to when you can plainly see it on the car and then delete your original comment fag

[walyll0]

what you mean your a loser with no life... gotcha i understand

[ferrari347]

what you mean is you cant stop and are a fag so stfu ok

[walyll0]

it`s cool that you keep describing yourself...but really i could give a rats ass what you are P.O.S

[walyll0]

the reason i deleted my comment ferrari P.O.S is because..........you are to stupid and have no COMMON sense to read anything you are just a stupid kid that has no life so to you STFU

[jaywalleye]

are you pushing the joint up from the bottom?

[august6767]

just kidding

[august6767]

Nice if you would like to use the ball joint

upside down.. LOL

[danimal2581]

Funny how they don't show any of the real work like taking the brakes and spindles apart....

Who came up with this crap. I hope thats not Nates actual tool set

[mattp1482]

@danimal2581

yeah, cause we all want to watch a video thats two hours long... if you cant get the brakes off yourself without a video, then you shouldn't be attempting this in the first place..
