so here's the deal... I got an adjustable trackbar from rough country off of ebay... well, I put it on, and the first thing I noticed is that I couldn't tighten down the nut on the ball joint enough to get a cotter pin in. I think "well, I got it tight enough, maybe it'll wear in and I'll be able to tighten it more later...". Well, I went wheeling yesterday, and noticed it coming loose... I took a break to tighten it real quick, and can you guess what happened? I start tightening it, and it keeps turning... I'm thinking "wow, this thing got really loose!" but it still KEPT going... I soon realize that it's stripped. I try to loosen it to see if I might be able to get another nut on it. NOPE! Can't get it off! I think the stud is stripped on the ball joint... so now, I have to get it off to figure out what to do about it, and I'd like to do it without destroying the joint. Ideas? I'm kinda stuck right now.
