How to extract a busted ball joint zerk?
I am in the middle of lowering my 91 and in the process of wrestling that mono spring out I busted the zerk fitting on my balljoint. What is the best method of extraction so I can screw a new one in there? If you are thinking of lowering the front of your corvette, be advised......it is a PITA! I should finish tomorrow.

:iagree: It already has a hole in it.. should be pretty straight forward right? The opening in the nipple is small, but underneath that you'll find a ~3/16" hole that an easy out will take care of.
