Talking This is how you change ball joints







Less than 5 seconds and the old one was out

Even without the 500nm impact wrench the socket bit alone was worth getting as they can be tightened up properly when putting it the new one in. Was able to change without removing anything from the car

I wish my dad has decided to get some air tools 3 years ago before we started

Can't help but think of Tim Allen and Tool Time now for some reason

I spent 3 years telling myself I need to get a compressor every time I had a rusty or bunged up bolt to take out. So many hours spent swearing at a breaker bar.

My dad needed various tools to do some other work so it was the ideal time to get the impact gun too

Nice - how much for the impact gun? (If you don't mind me asking).

My gun is a little wimpy - 500Nm sounds much more like it! arf, arf, arf, arf!

(Sorry, that's my best Tim Allen impression)
