Funny how in practically all videos showing this job there is never any RUST and SEIZED BOLTS... In our parts the blowtorch is the home mechanic's second most used tool after the Vise Grip!
@BILLT_YT 4 күн бұрын
Definitely, emergency tools and maneuvers are key components for any mechanic. I think learning techniques as well as when to use them for unexpected situations, or how to avoid them is key. Luckily I both live in the south (so I deal with less corrosion and rust) as well as have the situation to often times not need to find an immediate solution, allowing me to order parts and complete a more in depth repair at a later date, but that is not usually the case for most situations.

So I am located in Clayton county GA I just bought a 2012 Suzuki GSXR600 from South Carolina and unknowing that the title is rebuilt. The title I have is branded not actual mileage and while at the tag office trying to transfer the title over they made me aware of the vehicles history saying I need an inspection. Could you provide me with the info of the guy that was mobile to you? I was going to go to McDonald collision repair in Forest Park but if I could save having to tow the bike that will be ideal for me. What all will I need in my case? I only have the title and it’s been signed over to me but to not transferred by the state due to needing an inspection. I don’t have photos of damage, I don’t have the bill of sale, I don’t have a photo of the sellers ID, I only have the title. Supposedly the bike was salvaged in Texas in 2014 and titled there and then came to South Carolina and it was obviously titled there as I have a South Carolina title. Now it’s in GA with me being the new owner and and anxious I’m out $6,000. The bike looks brand new and rides great. I had to ride it 3 hours home and have been riding it about 30 minutes to and from to McDonough for work everyday but I have stopped riding it because I don’t want to get stopped and the bike towed away and then I’d have no way to retrieve it as I have the title but the state hasn’t transferred it to my name because of needing an inspection. Is there any advice you could give me and is there anyway you could give me the contact information of the mobile inspector you used? Thanks for the video very helpful!

The inspection site is responsible for sending your documents(MV-1 Title/Tag application) to the DOR after you pass inspection.

Whoever is planning on replacing the front lower control arms on the Element... oh boy you are going to in for a treat. Those babies don't ever want to come out. So here's a video that will save your sanity. Link : kzfaq.info/get/bejne/g9NdZtBjy7-VhKs.html. From now on, that's just the route I am going to take. It's just so much easier. In the video, these guys used files and a broken pick axe. For me, I jammed the end of my breaker bar. No rental tools needed. The whole method is unconventional, but it works. Also as far as the front, lower control arms. You will spend more time than you want to trying to press in ball joints and bushings. They don't come out easy neither because they were never designed to be pressed out to begin with. I had to use air tools to do it! In my opinion and from my awful experience, just buy new front lower controls arms.
@BILLT_YT 5 ай бұрын
yea... basically any wedge will eventually work to get the unstuck depending on the degree of rust and amount of time they have been together. That being said... the correct tools are not particularly expensive and easily accessibly, I have used multiple methods and the tool seems to work best with the least amount of hassle, and can be easily justified by doing the job myself (heres a link to one thats roughly $20: www.amazon.com/gp/aw/d/B099WQJYM9/?_encoding=UTF8&pd_rd_plhdr=t&aaxitk=6547b1001973c3d5b179c467552fcb8a&hsa_cr_id=0&qid=1708987599&sr=1-2-9e67e56a-6f64-441f-a281-df67fc737124&ref_=sbx_be_s_sparkle_mcd_asin_1_title&pd_rd_w=bN2dQ&content-id=amzn1.sym.417820b0-80f2-4084-adb3-fb612550f30b%3Aamzn1.sym.417820b0-80f2-4084-adb3-fb612550f30b&pf_rd_p=417820b0-80f2-4084-adb3-fb612550f30b&pf_rd_r=5PF012YBXXHM4CRZRWRG&pd_rd_wg=dCpxG&pd_rd_r=29c01412-c92e-4c78-ad88-c0f26b59df22)... as for the actual ball joint removal yea, its a paint and unfortunately the joint is part of the knuckle, not the control arm, so unless you are replacing the whole knuckle assemble, which can be costly and have man attached parts, bearing/hub, etc. it may just be a labor of love... some shops will also remove and install ball joints if you bring them the knuckle. To each their own... the biggest thing I have learned working on cars, is that there is a ton of different ways to get to the same solution.
