6 years later this video is still helping people like me. Thanks so much man, the nut on my tie rod end was stripped I had a smaller socket beat on it and things were getting down to the nitty gritty. This trick worked like a charm.

Going through pages and pages of service manuals and old forums all day and you just showed exactly what I needed. Thank you so much!

Thank you! I’m doing my lower ball joints and could not get my tie rod end off until I found your video. You definitely saved me from throwing my tools across the garage in a fit of rage haha.

I've just tried this on my car and worked like an absolute charm! I normally just end up buying new ones but this is absolutely brilliant; thanks for sharing this!

Wow, what a great tip! I let the bolt sit with wd40 for half an hour and it did nothing, cameback with your tip and not even 2 minutes later it was out! Thanks for sharing!

Straight to the point love it thank you for actually making a good video unlike half the other people trying to make their videos long for more money

You are a lifesaver. I was getting frustrated and half thinking I was cross threading. This trick helped me get the nut on and pushing down on the torque wrench I was able to achieve 30 ft lbs of torque.

After fighting with the knuckle and finding a used one e4tc.. etc... I found that my tie rod end is spinning with the nut.

THANK YOU, what a genius hack.

HELLS YEAH!

My only complaint is that I didn't find this video first hahaha. this video was most helpful out of like four or five others. Thank you!!

Dude, thank you so so so much. This just saved me so much time and aggravation. I was skeptical at first. Didn’t honk it would work, but it worked like a charm. Thank you

Long story, but this little tip probably saved me from having to get a tow. Saved my butt. TY brother

[RedKingdomRealEstate]

Worked on the first try. Super quick and did not have to change tie rod. Thanks!

[jasonroberts]

Oh I thought this was the video where you changed your rotors...


Awesome tip tho my tie rod wouldn't tighten either, your trick saved me cutting the old one off, buying a new one. Thanks bro

[garyschultz]

Very nice. Almost worked for me. I had to use the original nut to lock the tie rod in place, the nylon lock nut provided with the new part still made it spin. Once i locked it in place with the original nut I was able to get the new nut on.

This trick saved my ass! Thanks for the tip! Read a lot of blogs where dudes sawed off the nut because they thought they broke it. I was about to do it!!

[worxharder]

Bro, I was to the point of cutting a line in the bottom of the bolt to hold it with a flat head. This just saved me so much effort and possibly ruining my tie rod.

[earlsshadetreegarage]

Super idea! I like videos that get right to the point.

[lilterrrio]

I’ve done this by just using a floor jack underneath if I’m replacing

[dariusotool]

The strap tip was a lifesaver. Thanks man!
