tie rod castle nut wont come out
im trying to take the driver side knuckle off but the castle nut on the tie rod wont come off because the ball joint spins when i try to take off the castle nut.
i dont have any air tools so thats out of the question. anyone know how to take this off?

take some channel locks and lock the tie rod end down to the knuckle and then take it off, not much is needed just enough to stop the spinning
