Little bit of that spray shit. Dang I'mm losing my mind today. then take a crappy big screw driver and hammer it into the split in the bottom of the strut. This will counteract the effects of the pinch bolt. Since you are replaceing the ball joint anyway use a pickle fork and give it a whack between the ball joint and the strut housing bottom.
