Default Hello. need help here!

My friend and I put the brembo kit on last night. Everything works fine. But the screw under the balljoint will spin. I can not tight it all the way in...Any advise? Where can I get the replacement? Or Do I have to change the whole damn kit??

you have to use an impact, if you do it by hand it will just spin

The ball joint shaft is tappered , In the past I have put a jack under the lca and I have put a little load on it, this helps you get the bolt tight......fyi, 9 out 10 times this happens, the ball joint is toast. I hope you guys did not use a fork to pop the balljoint, forks and honda lower ball joints do not play well togather....
