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! |

That tool is doing nothing. Flip it around so it's trying to push the threaded stud out of the arm.

(IMG:style_emoticons/default/blink.gif) If you're not trying to save the end, you could take some vice grips and grab the upper part of the stud and use your open end to get it started...
