i nomally get a snanner on the rod itself and twist the balljoint as its twisted you can undo the nut
then bang it out with a hammer

grip it on the top of the stearing knuckle and top of the track rod endto try to keep them together (use pipe recnh or something simular) and then try. you'll more than likely have to use an air gun. and for god sake dont hit the tread to try to free it up

the steering track rod ball joint bolt is jammed!!! the actual ball joint bolt is spinning when i try to loosen the nut!???:boggle:

what can i do or try??
the bolt is sealed inside the ball joint so i cant really grip it or the thread in any way, ive tried but it keeps slipping! :mad:
