hello all
seems my van has desided to test me again, passenger side ball joint dropped after i was'nt able to make it
all the way home pulled over to find that 2 hex head studs worked themselfs off and bent really bad
anyway after taking the tranny side off i can seem to even budge the 2 hex head because they are not
backing off the ball, but are'nt connected the inside wheel.  has anyone ever heard of the ball joint hex
studs bending so bad you can't remove them.

Does anyone have a work around?? I have all but 2 hex heads holding up pulling this joint off.
remove wheel and work this way?

pls pmail :)

thanks
Joe
