CageyH Posted January 8, 2008 Share Posted January 8, 2008 Ball joints? Apply a load, so the taper shaft is fixed. Use an air impact wrench, so it does up quickly Only dead fish go with the flow....! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Grubbster Posted January 8, 2008 Share Posted January 8, 2008 If you are referring to the top balljoint on the front suspension - I pull the top and bottom wishbones together really tightly - either with a 'cramp' (one of those ratchet types you can put on with one hand) or a roofrack strap, or even a piece of twine and a clove hitch. If this isn't what you are talking about then I don't know . . . Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
6speedmanual Posted January 8, 2008 Share Posted January 8, 2008 Use a standard (non-nyloc) nut to pull the taper into the hole. When it's wedged in place, remove the plain nut and fit the nyloc. 6SpeedManual *tongue*There's no such thing as too much BHP per Ton 😬 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
philwaters Posted January 8, 2008 Share Posted January 8, 2008 Yep, works every time for me. Phil Waters Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mick Day Posted January 8, 2008 Share Posted January 8, 2008 Did mine by getting someone to stand on the upper wishbone. However the non-nyloc is probably best but I didn't have any to hand. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
