If you're only having to move it a little way (e.g. onto a trailer) then you can use ratchet straps to pull the wishbones together, thereby
keeping the BJ in place.
Worked for me when the BJ nut fell off and they couldn't move my car onto the recovery truck.

Otherwise are you sure they're not the same size nut as cortina wheel nut? I'm sure I used an old wheel nut to tighten one of the
balljoint nuts on my car....
