[T3] Ball joint again


At last I have removed the ball joint. Heat and lots of force was not
enough to remove the nut. I used a saw to remove the nut instead. Then I
heated the trailing arm with a propane torch and coult easily tap out
the ball joint. Thanks to all on the list who helped me!

Now I have another problem instead... When I look up into the tapered
part of the trailing arm I see that the ball joint only have contact
with the outer (= lower) 10 mm of the trailing arm taper. The inner
(=upper) part, closest to the almost round hole, will not have contact
with the ball joint. I can't decide wether it is supposed to look like
this, or if the inner parts of the taper have rusted away. Does anyone
know?
