which balljoint? Sounds like the nut is stripped and most likely so are the threads on the balljoint. Chances are you'll need to replace them both (nut and joint). If the nut wont come off from loosening it, you'll have to cut it off. I have been in your shoes before - good luck.

But if you're just trying to get the axles out to pull the motor - you dont *have* to mess with any balljoints. You just need to **** the wheel all the way to one side and pop each axle out.
