Replacing tie-rods after getting the new ones discussed here elsewhere.
Working on the first one on driver's side- when turning the castellated nut on top the whole thing turns. Thought about trying to put some pressure on the shaft with vise grips but the shaft and nut still turn as a unit... Any ideas? I'm stuck before I've almost gotten started! |

An air gun would spin the nut right off. Since you are replacing the tie rod you could use a cutoff tool or hacksaw to remove the nut by making a couple of cuts so it can be split with a chisel. Lacking those tools try putting a jack under the tie rod to force the tie rod end taper up into the steering arm and see if the nut turns.
