The first metal band I ever listened to was Carcass. I'm mostly into Power, Progressive, Symphonic, Black and Death Metal. Not into Metalcore and I don't like at all Avenge Sevenfold.
No worries problem solved months ago. The drilled hole where the cotter pin goes through was too low leaving a gap. Because I had installed both, I couldn't return them due to installation wear. So I went to Home Depot and picked up a pack of 3/4 in. flat washers and put two on each side to fill...
Alright. I ordered a 1/2 to 3/4 adapter and a 1 7/8 socket for the lower ball joint and it finally came in. So I was finally able to tighten up the LBJ and finish the rest (ball joints and tie rods) on the driver side. But I'm a bit concerned with the new lower ball joint I installed. Once I put...
I held the knuckle because with the top ball joint off it would slant to the side and downwards, so I had to hold it evenly while the roommate grabbed the hammer and tie rod separator and hammered down on it next to the lower ball joint. The knuckle slowly started to slide down. Then I went at...
You're right Bklyn.X. Just been 4 days of wrestling with it. I finally got it off with the help of my roommate. It took two of us to do the job. Now I can finally focus replacing both and then the other side.
Well, day 4 and nothing. Tried every tip given here and nothing. I keep spending more money on tools and I'm getting no where. I've burnt myself out to the point i lost interest in this project. I'm not interested in throwing any more of my time and money at this and getting little to no...
I was hoping to avoid heating the knuckle. I will try the other suggestion with the piece of wood. I was also thinking, maybe if I remove the lower control from the frame I can slide out the axle and then use my ball joint press kit to take it out of the control arm.
Hey all. I'm trying to replace the ball joints on the upper and lower control arm. I've managed to pry apart the upper ball joint, but the damn lower ball joint and knuckle won't separate from each other so I can remove the cv axle from the knuckle and the knuckle from the ball joints.
I've...
I thought I'd share about this information in case people are not aware. I also have no idea where to post this so I figured this would be the best spot. For those who have a 2nd Gen Xterra. I found out about ShadowWolf through one of Nissan Nation Production's video:

Pretty subtle spot. It almost looks like it actually came from the factory like that. Only thing I would find concern with it that low is it interfering with a skid plate. But a great spot if you are going to do light rock crawling.
