I cant figure out how to tighten the top ball joint bolt all the way. I kno u have to use a allen key but my problem is how are u sopose to get the bolt completely tight when it is counter sunk into the spindle?

You cant use a socket bc u have to use an allen key to hold the stud from turning.

Once th bolt is sunk into the spindle u cant use a wrench..

Need a little help here

Thanks

 

Do you have the pass through socket set. Mainly used for allthread in construction work you couod still put a allen wrench on the stud

 

no i dont is that the only way??

 

Thats what I can think of at the moment did ya do a google search

 

ya nuthin came up but where to buy the spindles lol

 

pry down on the control arm with a big *** prybar to put tension on the taper while tightening it up.

 

i got it thanks guys

i went and bought a pass through socket set thanks again

 

That is one of my major dislikes of Mcgaughy's spindles

 

Ya tell me about it. I dont get why the damn ball joint stud spins. Then u gotta cut the stud off bc its too long. Makes me wonder how the hell ill ever get it back off?? Bc once u cut the stud off u cant use the Allen key anymore. I gess ill have to torch it off if it ever comes to it

 

Usually I replace the ball joints for good measure since its apart and new ones dont spin while tighting them. I will be doin my 2/4 this spring and get me a pass throughsocket set
