Here's how to properly use a ball joint separator.
Ball joint separator: amzn.to/2GFavrg
Silicone WD-40: amzn.to/2BDqBfa
Regular WD-40: amzn.to/2V8uf9E
PB blaster: amzn.to/2BKtmLA
Best penetrating oil: amzn.to/2Cy1DzB (better than PB blaster)
24mm socket: amzn.to/2VdaTAz
Ratchet: amzn.to/2CAsvyZ
Wrench set: amzn.to/2BHyFf3

Great video. Gave me the direction on which tool to get for our Odyssey. This tool was a life saver. Popped the ball joint loose in about two minutes. It also worked on the tie rod end of my 07 Odyssey as well. Getting the bearing out of the spindle, well that's another story. It was so rusted in there that the bearing puller/press tool cup that you place on the outside bent the spindle lip as I was trying to press it out. Replacement spindle will be here on Thursday. Hopefully it goes back together much easier than this disassembly has been.

Imaging living in a climate that doesn't rust stuff so badly that it strips the bolt and thread on the separator tool when you use it to remove your upper control arm... Lucky yanks. Great video sir.

Thanks! That clears up something I was wondering about, that is, should I avoid PB Blaster right on the rubber boot. So the silicone WD40 will be what I use. And spraying it on the tool as well, great idea!

I've been using pickle forks. And they've sucked. They not only destroyed a part I wasn't planning on replacing, but I ended up using my jack and the weight of the car while hammering on the side of the knuckle until it finally came unstuck. But I was too stubborn to use fluid.

This tool works well for Odyssey. Won't work for 2012 Accord because the fork diameter is too small and the fork is a bit too thick to insert in. Any suggested tool for Accord? Honda's 28mm tool is very expensive.

Most likely you'll have to replace the overhead assembly. As, Christopher said, the homelink is always hot, no matter what. Is it blinking red? If so, try relearning the garage opener.

Honestly, it's what I've done in workshops most my life. Just leave the nut on top loose, strike the side of the hub section where the ball joint slips in, and it'll pop most of the time in a single hit.

I've been hitting mine with a BFH and using a pickle fork and it won't come loose. Picked one of these up today for 35 bucks and will try it out tommorow. I'm not going to dick around hammering and cursing if a small amount of money will stop the frustration, I'm still saving way more than a professional would charge.
