how long does it take for a mechanic to do this??

[croom9]

@petespowerhour even with all of their air tools and nifty tricks a "professional"  will milk this job since the labor book tells them they can charge you for 4 hours. This job can be accomplished by the average Joe in about an hour per side

This guy actually took the time to help other people out, trying to share a little know how, who the fuck actually takes the time to talk shit about him, or his weight, people are fucking idiots. If this video isn't helping you, then fucking move on already, bunch of little fucking girls. Anyway, thanks dude for taking the time out to make a cool video.

Superb video. I've done this job 100 times. Some things I learned which may (or may not) be helpful is that I loosen the hub lugs slightly with the wheels on and before jacking the truck up up. I had to stand on a 3' breaker to loosen those suckers most of the time. Also, if you put the new ball joints in the freezer a day ahead of installation you can almost insert them in the control arm by hand. Just need a few raps from a plastic hammer. They will expand when warmed up and become snug.

@croom9 is doing this very similar to replacing a 2000 mercury mountaineer, the place i wet to wants almost 800 bucks for the entire job ad i cant afford that! T_T my car is going to fall apart and im desperate enough to learnt to do it myself ! O_O

Excelente video, recomiendo aflojar la tuerca del eje antes de levantarel vehiculo, y al finalizar ajustar a 210 lb/f el hacerlo en forma excesiva dañara el rodamiento en forma prematura, e igual soportar el caliper con algo para evitar dañar la manquera. Gracias por el video.

@kalidasa47 my 97 Explorer's ball joints have been replaced every 40k miles or so. its pathetic. I dont understand why.
