I took the hub off to change the bj and now i have everything back together other than the tie rod end. Whenever i try to tighten or loosen the castle nut that fastens it down the whole assembly turns with it(almost like the a bj) I was just curious if this means something or if anyone has any tricks to get this thing done already. Thanks

 

bump wanna get this done by tomorrow..

 

take a hammmer and hit the tie rod upwards from the opposite side of the nut. then try and loosen the nut.

or if u have an impact wrench, pry between the knuckle and the tie rod and hit it with the impact.

 

I tried almost everything so i decided to replace them since i almost replaced every suspension component..

 

Hey andrew-

How did you fix your spinning tie rod end? Mine is a bit loose and I dont want to install the knuckle is I wont be able to tighten down the castle nut on the tie rod.

Lemme know
