i have a 90 accord and im trying to replace the lower ball joint, it seem like theres not enough room on top of the part to fit the ring part on the outside of the joint, like its right up against the hub

i have the axle pulled out and everything..

 

who needs special tool when gravity can do it...

thats a cool trick but, i have no problems seperating those, i'm tryin to replace the ball joint, i cant get the fukin though out, its been seperated, thast the easy part

 

oooh i just do the whole LCA or you can bring it to get pressed out

 

autozone loans them. but a hammer works too

 

Pickle fork + hammer = separated ball joint

 

Does your accord have the 'dust ring' on the knuckle?

Remove it, get a big socket, big vise and a hammer. Get the idea?

Just make sure to take that retaining clip off first!

to get the joint off the LCA completely?

 

Not sure about completely but that's what I did to replace my axle

 

a pickle fork aint gona get it out the knuckle ( or whatever you call it) it will pop it out the lower arm thing tho.

i said **** it and got the whole knuckle and hub from a junk yard for $30, my wheel bearings were shot anyways. that junkyard one was way easier to work with for some reason, 4lb hammer was all i needed to pop joints in/out
