One thing you can do is put a bunch of washer on the balljoint bolt. Take the nut and keep tightening it and adding more washers untill the balljoint is flush with the spindle. The spindle is tapered, so you have to try and get it flush before it will stop spinning. Another thing you can do it put your tires back on and let if off the stand to put pressure on the balljoint.

smack the ball joint up, or down, to seat it further in the spindle.

i do not believe houser uses a ball joint that you can get a wrench on like stock units.
