Ball Joint question
I'm pulling my hub to change the wheel bearing.
I was able to pop the ball joint ok after backing off the nut first. BUT now that I go to finish taking off the nut the rest of the way, the bolt its screwed onto is spinning with it and I can't. Did I somehow break the bolt in there or is that normal?
To summarize, I can't finish getting the ball joint nut off to remove the hub (last step) because the bolt its screwed to is now spinning with it. It doesn't have far to go.
Any thoughts? Hope I didn't ruin it.
