I posted this on FF but thought I'd cross post here to see if anyone had an idea for me.

I'm re-attaching my outer tie rod to the spindle, but I can't seem to tighten the bolt. Whenever I turn the nut the bolt just spins with it. Seems like a simple issue but I've searched all over and haven't found anything to help..

I'll try to grab a picture in a bit and put it up for a visual aid.

ok, simple solution, like I thought. Figured I'd post the results just in case someone in the future runs into it. Use an allen wrench through the middle of the nut to hold the bolt in place while tightening the nut.

wasted time. grab a pry bar and use the rod end as the fulcrom and pry GENTLY aginst the axle or knucke and zap it with yer impact.
