its 27 bucks from autozone.....i cut the nut off mine as it kept spinning. You might get away with putting pressure on the balljoint and trying to undo it....or use air.

i guess u mean the lower ball joint.. if so put a jack under the control arm and support the whole cars weigh on the arm that connects to the joint .. it will stop spinning if u do it right..
