I'm embarrassed having to ask such a basic question on here but I'm stuck on how to tighten up a pair of front new tie rod ends on my GTD.
When I’m tightening up the nut the spindle is spinning within the tie rod so I can’t tighten it.
Looks like there should be some sort of tool inserted into the top of the spindle to stop it rotating in the tie rod ? On ball joints this is an allen key but these are smooth on the inside and I can’t figure out to stop the spindle rotating with the nut?
Be gentle as I'm sure the answer the obvious.....just not to me :-(
