I am trying to refill the swivel ball housing and it seems that the passenger side nut has gone in to far and I've tried most things to remove it heat etc no luck. Is there another way I can refill it thanks.

If you've got a socket set your not atached to, attach it to the bolt, and use a hammer and heat until it either comes loose or the socket breaks,

thats how I had to remove the chassis bolt from my steering arm a few months ago, thankfully my socket wrench didnt break

Was thinking that but haven't really got any cheap and nasty sockets but I'm sure I can get some cheap ones off the bay.

just buy a single socket from Halrauds - won't set you back much for a small size and quicker

You could weld a piece of bar to the nut to get some leverage?
