90 Accord Ball Joint Helpeaglebreath 04-20-2007, 08:26 PM Started Today Doing Drive Axle Replacement. Never Got To It !!!! Couldn't Get That Lower Ball Joint Seperated...........i Need Some Hints. I Tried A Puller , But The Puller Kept Slipping Off The Frame. Is There Some Special Type Puller For This Job?? Does The Puller Arms Have To Be Parrallel To The Bolt? My Wasn't.....my Grabbing Arms Were Running In Towards The Ball Joint. I Am Up For Any Suggestions. I Don't Want To Destroy The Ball Joint,cause That Looks Like One Hell Of A Job !!!! Please Make Suggestions....................thank You mpumas 04-21-2007, 01:27 AM Sounds like your puller was too big. somick 04-21-2007, 12:17 PM I have not done it on Accords but on my Subaru I unscrewed the nut only few turns. This prevented the parts to separate violently. And like mpumas said it sounds like the puller is too big. I hope this helps. Good luck, Sam ProMan 04-21-2007, 11:52 PM What I did was use a hammer keep tapping on the lower arm and it will pop open eventually. Since there is really nothing holding it from separating. There is also a Honda special tool for ball joint. vBulletin®, Copyright ©2009, Jelsoft Enterprises Ltd.
