A
good way to remove Honda balljoints...
back to top
Honda
dealerships have special pullers they use. The sort of pullers a
consumer can find at auto supply houses are usually too spindly to work
properly, and end up slipping off or bending.
Mista B0ne suggests using,
of all things, a pitman arm puller with the
point ground off. In Mista B0ne's own words:
"If
you use the Autozone pitman arm puller.......the point needs ground off
or
it WILL collapse the ball joint threads.........
To
use it effectively, install it, tighten down till it just tightens up, then
another 1/2 to 1 full turn. This will not "pop" the balljoint, but one
swing
of the hammer will.
DO
NOT use the tool by itself to loosen the balljoint. YOU WILL RUIN the balljoint."
