    Just changed my lbj, trying to put the castle nut back on the tie rod, but the bolt spins, so I can't tighten the nut. Anyone have this happen to them, and if so how to correct this?

    EDIT:

    Going to try to put a bind on the tie rod to hold it so the nut grabs and see how that works...

    Crap, was not a problem at all. I just used one hand to pull the tie rod and the other to tighten, after putting a little PB Blaster on the nut to let it move easier. Piece of cake.

    Nothing to see here, move along :)
