Sadly, cutting doesnt help with installation

Sorry for bumping an old thread, but its relevant- What do you do if the balljoint stud just spins when trying to tighten/loosen? On other cars, I see people jack up on the control arm, but that wont work here. Jack up on the brake? prybar between the balljoint and CV? I have one side that spins when trying to tighten, and one side broke loose from loosening the nut (at least I can sawzall that)

Getting an R50- What am I getting into?
Alxspony replied to Alxspony's topic in 96-2004 R50 Pathfinders
Thanks for the reply! Most likely wont be lifting this one- not a lot of off roading around the northeast that stock height wont do. Although the rear springs have some sag. Her J-word is the weekend toy, and this will be a reliable, capable daily. Although I may drag it out to Moab sometime (wish it was an auto for that so I could tow my less reliable AMC) What happens with the aftermarket strut tops? Heres a few more photos I couldnt post through work- One of the AC lines broke and was removed- I need to reinstall it and recharge the system I think the current tires are a bit undersized (235/60r16s). Found some 255/70r16s to replce them! -

Timing belt was done 3k ago (Seller is her brother, luckily!). I didnt think to check the valve cover- Hopefully thats all it is then

I am looking at a 1997 Pathfinder for a friend of mine. its an SE, 4x4 with a 5-speed. 210k from california, so no northeast rust (Nor the strut tower issue- I used a hammer all over it to check). It currently needs: -Balljoints -Rear shocks -struts -swaybar endlinks all around -CV axles -washer motors (its salty here) -a seat -front bumper -maybe tierods From searching, nothing seems to be that bad. But I also noticed the front diff leaking where the passenger CV bolts on. Should I be worried there? Otherwise- -Can I use the seat from any (non-power) R50, or only pre-facelift? -I checked the rear control arms, front and rear. How much twist is too much? The bushings were done in 2014, about 70k ago. -Any preferred brand for stock-replacemet struts here? Ill post some pics later! Sorry for the long post.
