HI,

Ive been replacing the driveshafts on my mini.

How do i refasten the two ball joint nuts holding the front hub in place?? They just keep spinning.

Cheers, Adam

you need some weight on the arms. lean on the top of the hub and it should force the taper on the bottom joint, then stick a jack under the bottom joint to do up the top one (that'll put the wieght of the car on it., so be a bit careful when yanking on things)
