Tie rod end help

[AD1.8T]

Well basically ive round the tie rod end allen key now the c!?! Just keeps spinning any other ways to tighten it back up ?

[Chris.]

Wedge a bar ontop of it.  Get someone to hold it down best they can and tighten.

[AD1.8T]

Not my picture but how do you hold the top side of that with a bar

[Chris.]

Wedge it under the chassis or somewhere strong?

[AD1.8T]

Just tried that bud its not shifting and that with a impact gun it wont bite the shaft just constantley spins

[Chris.]

Wind nut off and wirebrush all the threads up.  Bit copper slip and try again with the bar.....might need it longer and someone to stand on it.

Could always buy a new one

I had to grind the nut off! I was hanging off a pry bar wedging it against the chassis...didn't budge!

Grind it off at an angle, if that makes sense, so you can still use the threads,  so you can put it back on if you cannot get a new one straight away

Its allways the little things that screw you over lol as above i had the jacks bar wedged to the chassis it was even lifting the car the bastard didnt budge so i got violent with a disc cutter il have to wait untill tuesday to get a new one ! If i put it exactly the same as the old one would i need to get it tracked as i only had it done 2 months ago

try jacking the bottom arm up the put pressure on the track rod end u might have to take it a bit to get a fair bit of force  on it then do sum spanner work working it on and off
