Thanx for the responses with pics, David and Roger. <img src="/forums/images/graemlins/cheers.gif" alt="" /> Thats what I did.
However, I didn't do it myself. My rig is also a daily driver, and would hate to have that ball come loose coming down Ice House road with my wife next to me. I'm not a welder, and even if I was, I wouldn't trust an amatuer welder with my life, so I took it off, and paid a pro to pop out the ball, and re-weld (Welder-boy). I also had him do a spare.
I still use the torque rod (custom adjustable), to lessen the likelihood of breaking the arm (haven't broken one yet) <img src="/forums/images/graemlins/kewl.gif" alt="" />.
