I loosened off the bolt to make it easier to remove my driveshaft (It did not) but I couldnt get the bolt right off because the ball joint was spinning 
Now I want to tighten it all back up because obviously the wheel is shaking etc ,but cant because its still spinning ! Whats the best way of gripping and tightening it ?

Be better trying to unscrew them first, they will be pretty tight though so may need some force. Count the amount of turns it takes to come off, so you can put it back the same amount. To try and keep the tracking something like it used to be.

Well it just spins when you try and take it off 
I havent tried what lee said but they are coming off anyway.
Why is it that they spin ? Is that a sign of it being fooked ?
Will the new ones spin when it comes to tightening them ?
