So, I was doing some matience on the truck today. And looks like my driverside tie rod needs replacing. Unless anyone has any tips as to how to stop the rod from rotating when trying to install a stubborn nut onto it.

I used some vice grips on the top of the rod, but then when it gets past a certain point, the vice grips no longer fit and there is just too much play to be safe.
