EMF ball joints installed
EMF ball joints installed
Finally got my emf ball joints installed... very happy with build quality... havent driven it much to tell yet how good they are...
I had a challenge getting my rusted lower bj off.. broke down and bought a milwaukee impact wrench rated for 700ftlbs fastening... it made short work of popping the joints out... much better than a 4ft breaker bar...

Re: EMF ball joints installed
Excellent! Make sure that lower joints adjuster is not right against the ball, you’ll get weird handling. It’s gotta be just a touch loose.
Re: EMF ball joints installed
Thanks.. saw that in their video that it needed to be wiggle loose... i did mess up in that i didnt orient the setscrew to be accessible without taking tire off... remembered it after the factDamageWagon wrote: ↑Mon Jan 29, 2018 3:52 pmExcellent!

Re: EMF ball joints installed
Maybe a blonde moment, but what did the impact do for you at getting the lower joint out?

Driving the press... i broke a 1/2 breaker bar with a 4ft cheater... the impact turned that screw like butter...

Re: EMF ball joints installed
Ah yeah the concept is to load the press up and then smack the knuckle with a hammer. The impulse usually pops it free. It can be very exciting when you’re turning the screw by hand and it lets go

I did that but the thing was rusted a d wouldnt budge... I gave up when the breaker bar snapped... saw on youtube guys using an impact and figured that was the key... it was...DamageWagon wrote: ↑Mon Jan 29, 2018 9:47 pmAh yeah the concept is to load the press up and then smack the knuckle with a hammer.

Re: EMF ball joints installed
I used a press like those but the breaker bar broke... used the high torque impact and the press removed it without difficulty...TwinStick wrote: ↑Wed Jan 31, 2018 5:24 pmThese work well.

Anybody doing this should use a press and a high torque impact

Re: EMF ball joints installed
I damn near broke my snap on press trying to get the old ball joints out of my axle after it had been trussed. All the heat from welding the 3/8” knuckle gussets hardened the knuckle bore I think. When it let go finally it literally sounded like a gun lol
Good looking joints, emf makes quality stuff. Good job tackling that yourself sir!

Re: EMF ball joints installed
I'll say ! It is the most HD one I have ever seen. Also...
Re: EMF ball joints installed
Definitely HD... also rebuildable..
Actually with the strong US to CDN rate price is cheaper than similar options...
The adjustability will make it last a long time
