I seem to have made a mistake removing the upper ball joint, one that is
realy horible. I was removing the ball joint to check it etc when I hit
apon a problem. I had not removed all the stuff from the thread, and
the bolt ceased 1/8 th of an inch up. So I used a bit more force, and
the whole ball joint ended up turning. This is not good, because I know
have no way of doing up or un-doing the joint. Also the fact that this
was a good one, realy gets me.
First, don't do what I did.
Second, Help? :-{
Is there anything on the tapered bit that I could grab hold of, I have
only about 1/8th to 1/4 of an inch play.
Should I hit the ball joint back in, to try and lock it, to do up the
bolt again, and forget about taking it out? Or take it in, cleen up the
thread and re-try.
Is there anyway to remove he nylon from a nyloc nut?
