Sorry - should have been more specific. It’s the nut on the ball joint that seems to be seized solid at the moment. Left it soaking after wire brushed the threads and some heat so fingers crossed..... I guess worst case will be cutting it off and hoping it unscrews out of the rod!

For the little nuts on the swivel ball seal you need some of these -
They have a reverse spiral cut inside the 'socket'...

They'll grip the heads of rounded bolts
They also do this to fill the box with all sizes -

Invaluable when working under a Jimny
