Get a hammer and leave the nut on loosely. Give a good wack with the hammer
against the spindle that the ball joint goes through. It might take a
couple of tries. But it will come loose. It's fast and quick. I do this
everyday at work on cars that I have to replace ball joints or outer tie
rod ends. Beats buying a tool when you already have a hammer.
