Default Help!! Installing springs problem

Im currently in the process of placing the tie rod back onto the strut assembly after installing lowering springs....and were trying to tighten the nut for the tie rod, but the whole tie rod end bolt is turning, and were not able to tighten it. Is this normal? Currently trying to use some pliars to hold it from turning but its not working well...
