Lower ball joint

well today i went to remove lower ball joint on my SI to replace axle and i could not get the castle nut off the end of ball joint. i took cotter pin out and went to take castle nut off but the end ball joint threads would spin with nut as if they were one. any advice as to how to take nut off with out joint spinning as well?

my upper ones did that, just press it up into arm while your taking it off, or pull it down... it cant rememeber, you have to put pressure on it to hold it though.

Yeah pushing it up works but sometimes it wont. On my chevy i just torched it, your changing it anyways right.

think hes just replacing the axel

well you probly going to want to replace the ball joint but the easy way i did it with that same problem is take a impact gun and it well come off

damn still no luck. i put pressure on it but still wont budge. :banghead:
