Upper control arm bolt is spinning.

I am putting on a set of 3rd gen takeoffs and most everything is going great.

My problem is the bolt in the UCA is just spinning when I am trying to tighten the castle nut up. I have it far enough on that it lines up the pin perfectly. Is that far enough?

There isn't a space to put another wrench anywhere to help here.

Ideas?

 

Pry down on the arm with a pry bar to put pressure on the ball joint to stop it from spinning.

I usually put some lubricant on the threads if its doing this as well to help reduce friction.

 

ok....I will try that

I don't know that its 84 fl/lbs. But its for damn sure gudentite. And the pin lines up.
