    is the nut twisting? Or is it stuck?

    If you damaged the threads on the balljoint stud, then you might be in for a slight headache.

    Ball joint threads are fine, but the joint popped out. Like when your bearings pop out in an axle and get it back in. I don't know how to get the axle out. Tried using an impact gun with a 6 gallon compressor and set the PSI all the way up.

    I took the axle nut out and took the whole hub out, There was a little lock on the nut that I pushed with a screwdriver and after then I took off the hub, The axle popped out about an inch away from fender. I have to get the axle back in and the ball joint should sit right.
