poll250 0 Posted May 17, 2010 Is there a special tool for fitting ball joints? I got one on fine, but the other is just spinning and there's not much room between it, and the hub. Is there some kind of short ended allen key, or do people just grind down normal ones? Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
farrantino 0 Posted May 17, 2010 Put your jack underneath the balljoint and jack the suspension up to put pressure on the balljoint pin(or till it start lifting car), you then should be able to do the nut up. Sean Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
poll250 0 Posted May 17, 2010 Brilliant idea cheers! Dont't suppose you also have a good tip for getting the steering column into the steering rack? One side has a flat bit, and the other has a groove cut out and for the life of me I can't remember which should face the pinch bolt, and neither seem to want to go in!

Its an idea, not sure if it helps. sean Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
