TIE ROD NUT/STUD JUST SPIN - How Can I Fix Quick
No idea how this happenned, I dont know if something broke sometime during the continuous assembly and reassembly but the nut and stud that holds the tie rod to the tire assembly just spins up inside the tierod
The nut wont back off or come up and theres such a small ammount of thread that I cant grip it with a set of vice grips
I tried with a small set of vice grips but cant hold it enough to spin the nut on or off
Has anyone ever had this happen?, The tie rod is basically new, maybe 1 year old I believe but the stud just spins, I dont get how it attaches up inside the tie rod, can something break there?
The nut is on by probably 7 threads, needs maybe 11-12 more to make it up there
Need to know what tricks there are to get this ---- up there

make sure its not cross threaded 1st, then go find a friend with an air compressor and an impact gun, tht will do the trick. OR bang on the top of the rod a little to try to get it stuck in the knuckle, then u might be able to turn it. if not, a new one is like 16 bucks, dont be cheap bitchass

I disagree...get a big hammer and just hit the oil pan a few times, it'll work just fine.
