tre spins when tightening ...
Hey guys, any suggestions on how to re-tighten the tie rod end, it just spins ? I wound up loosening it in order to place the synergy drag link in stock position, which is still not installed. I used the hex to hold it, but the allen socket snappped. Im thinking ill have to get it towed in because im out of time and not sure what to do. Wife is now severely pissed Suggestions?
Would it be okay to get towed is the tre was hanging and drag link not tight?
Think ive been defeated

If I remember correct it nuts from the top. If that's so. You can put a jack and a chunk of wood under the joint end and jack it up to put pressure on the bevel. Friction should hold it tight enough to tighten it down.

This x2. Really a pain in the ass. Thats why i went to rod ends. I have a tre break on a trail and it was a pain. Not anymore.

Thank you so much for that. I placed the jack under there and it tightenedright up.
Do you happen to know how the drag link is supposed to sit, it just looks weird
