When mine span i tapped the track rod in a bit with a hammer being careful not to damage it, but ive also used mole grips to hold them together while ive fastened the nut. basically have to try and get it to bind.

Jack it up at the base or ball joint separator screwed shut to grip them together.

Yep either allen key in the head of the balljoint, but it may be rusted and no use.

a better option would be to jack up at the base to force the balljoint back in and lock it into place. Can also try some molegrips if that isnt an option.
