torquing tie rod ends / draglinks
I just replaced my draglink, but I can't torque the castellated nut because the new draglink post spins in its seat. I plan to do tie rod ends next and expect they will spin as I try to torque, as well. How do you torque these nuts if the post spins? Thanks.

Take a rubber hammer a "tunk" your tie rod end while you turn the wrench. I have used an air wrench to run the nut down. Once the nut is down, you can tighten it with your torque wrench.

OK, Jim - thanks! I knew somebody would have a "trick" for that.
