hey guys. im doing a granada spindle swap on my 68 mustang, but i cant tourque the ball joint nuts down cause the ball joint shafts keep spinning. does anybody have any ideas how i could get it done? its driving me crazy!!

Tap on it with a big hammer to get it to seat in the hole.

Maybe put a pickle fork in there?

Use some solvent and make sure they are clean and dry too!

The tapers wouldnt seat by beating on them. I finally just jacked up the lower control arm so i pushed the spindle against the spring and that got em seated well enough to tourque down. Thanks for the input.
