GlynD Posted May 26, 2018 Share Posted May 26, 2018 Hi all, I posted a while back when I was about to buy my first Defender. I went ahead and bought it, it's a 1996 300tdi Defender 90 and have tinkered with it almost every day since. Today's job is the rear A Frame ball joint but it's proving to be a bit difficult. I've manage to free up most of the bolts with a big hammer. The problem I'm having now is that the ball joint thread is turning whilst I'm trying to undo the 30mm nut which secures it to the axle. Any suggestions how to stop the ball joint from turning so that I can remove the nut? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
GlynD Posted May 26, 2018 Author Share Posted May 26, 2018 Problem solved: Needed to lever the A frame into the axle. This created enough resistance to hold the ball joint in place. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
