Thank you for the video, this worked great on the driver side but not so much on the passenger side. Threaded the tool onto the ball joint and foolishly tried to use my impact to make a quick job of it, now its the next day and the ball joint is still in the car! The threads ripped out of the cylinder on the tool and the ball joint. That's what happens when you try to go to fast kids! Live and learn I guess. :) But thank you for introducing me to this option, didn't know that tool was available outside of the Matco/SnapOn trucks.

I was told to get a pressure test on my steering pump and lines. I asked a mechanic to see if he could do it. He said there is no such thing but I knew there was. He also said my steering pump was bad. On a Ford Taurus the right side of the rack and pinion it does have issues the boot has fluid in it then bad rack however. The pressure line was loose so the o rings were janky we replaced them now steers easy but still wandering. But for now steering works. Any hoot. Any idea how to pressure test my steering a diy thingy. Maybe

I watched this video and realized that its rare to be positioned into a field you want to work in and get mentored by such an outstanding person with the experience Dr. O has. I personally had a few such mentors from time to time before and I really wish I could thank those people more now.

Yes, the dreaded Subaru pinch bolt. Not made for the Salt Belt. When I touch one of those, and if all goes well, or not. I modify the original concept for a Through Bolt set up. Winterizing one Rig at a time! Love your videos Eric! From the Far Northeast-MaineiacNorth

Hi Eric, man i really like your diagnostic tools. Theyre invaluable. After watching your videos, i ordered a new scan tool. Mine was about ten years outdated. You can tell a good mechanic by looking at his toolbox and tools. Keep up the awsome videos. Youre the MAN! Rev.

I havent owned a single Astro tool or product that was subpar. Thanks Eric for introducing me to their stuff. Before watching SMA I would often skip over Astro while looking at my options on Amazon. Disclaimer: Not sponsored by Astro, just a satisfied DIY guy.

I have a question on the ball joint pinch bolt. Do you think 37315 pneumatic bolt breaker made by Mayhew would work on these bolts? This along with big nasty might be a game changer? Curious to see you do a review on this. I think 37316 is the 1/2 option.
