Default Ball Joint Bolt Problems!

Hi all,

I'm after some ideas on how to remove the ball joint bolt for the front arms.

Today I was attempting to start removing my engine.

(See my progress thread here to be brought up to speed)

Unfortunately when removing the bolts that pin the ball joint in place they both (driver and passenger side) rounded off.

So I'm very much stuck, like the bolts.

Are the bolts threaded into the hub carrier?

Should I be able to knock them out (I have tried and damaged the ends of the bolts)

Should I resort to cutting them out?



Thanks in advance!
