This isn't truly PS related but it's about the re-assembly from my PS job. The outer tie rod bolt to the knuckle turns when I try to tighten the nut. Am I supposed to grab the tip and tighten with a box wrench? I can't seem to get the tie rod angled shaft into the knuckle enough to stop the spinning. Thanks.

Try squeezing the outer tie rod onto the knuckle using pliers or vice-grips to create friction on the stud.

Thanks. I took the car off the ramps and jacked it up and removed the wheels to get better access. I found that a 10mm socket fit the top of the stud and that helped. The driver's side was better. I think I got them in all the way. Yes?
These aren't castle nuts. Anyone know the torque?
