steering

before i get started with my question... TOMMARROW IS MY BIRTHDAY

watch out i'm getting rid of this "farmer lisecnse" and get a "restricted" lisecnse....

now to my question i'm taking tommarrow off from school so i'm doing work on my truck. i'm replacing the engen mounts... piece of cake (i think) from what i've hear no problem.. now the real problem... i'm replacing this steering shaft that connects the right and left tires... hard to describe but it's got 2 bolts that hold it in place and 2 places for something to be bolted to it. now the bolts look more like ball joints then bolts. there is no way to keep them from spining

the two nuts are rusted on there and there is not place to get a wrench or pliers on there. i took the cotter pin out but the "bolt" just spins around and around... any suggestions on getting that shaft to stop spining??

p.s. thanks for the email that the website sent me
