I've recently replaced my steering tie rod end ball joints and during reassembly they seem to spin before I get to the recommended 65ft/lb torque setting. A fellow in my car club suggested spraying a little paint on the taper and that would "stick it" allowing the full torque. Another suggested a large clamp on the end of the taper below the nut. I'm not thrilled with the idea of anything getting in the taper and the clamp idea doesn't allow enough room for a wrench.
Any suggestions?
