I'm a computer programmer ... a friend of my son's sold us a 2002 F-150 for $800. I now know why he sold it for $800. The entire front end required replacement (tie rods, upper control arm, Pitman arm, idler arm and lower ball joint). I took this to the local Ford stealership, the amount they quoted was more than the value of the truck itself. So, my sons (both mechanical engineers from UNCC) decided to do the work ourselves. After multiple You-Tube videos it became apparent that the stealership was exactly that. We rented the tool you suggested from Advance Auto (for free) and replaced the ball joint with the valuable instruction you provided here. Way to go Chris ... you ROCK.

Excellent tutorial. I’ve had it with tool rentals as there always seem to be something missing or doesn’t quite fit. I’m 70 but capable of these jobs. I figure the savings in labor will more than pay for my new press, large spindle socket set and a decent torque wrench. Wish me luck. 👍
@dunebasher1971

Great video! Just as an additional heads-up, when installing the new joint, you didn't need to flip the press over. You could have left the screw facing upwards. It would obviously have been pressing down on the receiver cup for the top of the ball joint, but that's fine - the joint would still have been forced upwards as you tightened the press. Another handy tip is to put the ball joint in the freezer overnight and only take it out just before you're ready to install it. The metal will contract slightly with the cold, which will make it even easier to get it started in the hole by hand before you use the press. This can be very useful to avoid getting the joint cocked in the bore. The same trick works with bearings.

That might be true... I thought the same thing, but the cups and caps are designed to fit the respective end of the press and threaded bolt. Sometimes you just have to stack them only how they fit together and still house the ball joint inside properly. I've done this more than a few times. Some times you have to use heat or even drop the control arm and use a standing press to get the ball joint out because this kit just isn't enough.. Chris: Always spot on and to the point in all your vids. Good work, always... Brad

This video is one of the most deserving because so many other repair KZfaqrs can learn from this. The content, guidance, editing, audio ... all of it ... are direct and useful. When searching for general advice in the future, this channel's name is going to be part of the search terms going forward.

True. You can squeeze from either orientation of the clamp. But in a way, for those that were struggling with understanding how all the physics works, it helps to think of the driving direction correctly by flipping the clamp the opposite way when installing the replacement joint.

Was just going to say. Awesome video but clamp pressure comes from both sides equally. That's physics :) great video though
