HI
Just re-attaching hubs/brakes and I'm having trouble with the upper ball joint, all the others tightened up fine but I'm having trouble with both the uppers. The nut threads to a certain point and then when it starts getting harder to turn the threaded section of the ball joint rotates with it, making it impossible to do up.
Anybody got any tricks or suggestions?
At the moment the car is being jacked up under the LCA so that the hubs weight is not putting on pressure on the joint.
