Re: [diesel_mercedes] Separating Taper Fit Joints

 

Thats splitting hairs. OK, the taper is right above the threads. It makes a very snug fit and takes a lot of persuasion to come apart. Max

I have yet to see any threaded item that is tapered.....

Whacking the threaded stud to separate things is always very bad practice .

? Anyone here know of a good VW oriented Machine Shop ? .

Well, there is two parts here. One the ball joint itself and then the tapered threads, both are stubborn. The tapered threads dont really matter because you can whack from the bottom, yes you destroy it but so what, its junk anyway. Its the ball joint itself  that I find hardest.  Max

I like to smack the side of the tapered hole with my 32 Oz. ball peen hammer ~ if you hit it *just* right, the shock will pop loose and taper fit pin .

The ' just right ' part can be tricky as it's usually softer than you'd expect .

This is not really too far off topic, it is a question about cars. One of my boys and I just replaced ball joints on the 2006 Subaru. I've done this twice now and these things are really hard to break loose.  Both times I ended up using a steel firewood splitting wedge and a very big hammer  because nothing else we had worked. We even had a borrowed pickle fork , a very large pry bar. So while we were breaking these things loose I am always wondering what the real guys use for this job. These were in the car for 161K and did not want to come out. Whats  anyone else do for this job? Max
