I have been trying to get my wheel bearing replaced, and in doing so, I've hit a few road blocks, but for the most part, I pretty much have the process done, except for one thing:

I can't remove the crown nut on the balljoint bolt. When I try to loosen the nut, the bolt spins with the nut, and I just can't find a way to loosen it. Any one have any tips or tricks? Is there a special tool I could buy to get at this stupid nut undone? Do I just have to risk ruining the ball joint and replace that as well?

Thanks guys!

You may have to use an angle grinder, cut the ball joint, then take it to a shop to press a new one in.

Have any friends with an impact driver?

if the ball joint is turning when trying to loosen that nut, in my opinion that ball joint is shot already and needs to be replaced anyway, so destroy it if thats what it takes to get the nut off, just dont damage the LCA or knuckle
