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! |

I used an impact wrench to spin the nut off and an $8 splitter from Harbor Freight. Worked great.
