Bansh-eman Posted February 2, 2008 Report Posted February 2, 2008 you have to get them into a bind. use the wheel to pull or push on the spindle to make pressure and hold it from turning Quote
BigRed350x Posted February 3, 2008 Report Posted February 3, 2008 I've used vise grips and pinch the ball joint into the hole and it holds it in place. Do it every time and it works good. Quote

rubberneck Posted February 3, 2008 Report Posted February 3, 2008 You can also "snug" them down with an impact. Put it on low and just give it a bump. Dont get nuts you'll overtighten them quick. Usually once you get them to seat you can then put the torque wrench on them. Quote
