  • YJ: Tie rod end spinning

    I am having a hell of a time getting my tie rod of tonight. The castle nut is almost all the way off but now the whole joint is spinning inside the knuckle so I can't get the castle nut off. Any suggestions?

    probably nopt what u want to do but if u can get the tie rod up a litte bit u can grab the shaft above the threads with a pair of vise grips. it wont hurt anything because its the part where the end sits in the knuckle. and it wont messup the threads.

            Your right. It's a jack. I'm typing in the garage on my phone. No spell check. It might help if I read what I am typing before I hit the post button though.

                That's what Scott's good for... a grin or two.
