Part: Drive shaft
Operation: How to replace a front ball joint on Skoda Octavia

Let's see the disassembly of the front ball joint of a Skoda Octavia. We place our car on a column bridge, we lift to a comfortable height to intervene. We unscrew the wheel pins with a telescopic wrench (compressed air drill) and pull it out, then, we begin to unscrew the joint pins with a socket wrench (as in the video).

Finally we mount the rim with the attached pins and test the car.
