Track Rod end - HELP

[BugMan]

OK team, probably some bl**** obvious answer, but how the hell are you supposed to tighten this nylock nut up?

Had some hassle with front hubs in general, but ill post that up on my build later.

It just spins around once it hits the nylon.

Use a pry-bar or equivalent against the bottom and apply pressure upwards

As mentioned you can apply some light upwards pressure from a jack or similar, but easiest way is to put a number of washers under the nut so you can nip the nut up, without the nylon (nyloc) insert biting on the thread, to make the taper lock. You'll find it won't take much torque on the nut to make the taper grip. Then remove nut and washers and tighten up with just the nyloc nut. Or without washers, just use a plain nut first to pull the taper in before replacing the plain nut with the nyloc.
