Hello people without getting medievil on the bolt is there an easy way of extracting the bolt itself?
The ball joint is stuck in there, but the bolt that passes through is just spinning I've tried banging it lightly with hammer but its not budging.
The funny thing is it spins freely so its loose, but can't tap it out.
Anyway of getting the ball joint out?
Worst thing I've already taken the wishbones out so have nothing to leverage against (banging head).
Cant use the ball joint splitter as there is no bolt to press against?
Plus wanted to save the threads on the bolt.
