Looks like I spoke too soon ;oops: . When I went to double check everything before I put the wheel back on, I realized I had used a regular nut instead of a self-locking nut to secure the tie rod end to the steering member (is that what it's called? I think thats what the Bentley called it) - then I couldn't find the right size self-locking nut in my garage, so I tried putting the old one back on and now it's completely stuck... I can't tighten it any more, because the threaded end just spins when I turn the nut, no matter how much I press down on it. I even had one of my big friends stand on top of the tie rod end while I tried to turn the nut, and it still spun... I'm going to try it with a new nut today, but is there some trick to getting it to not spin? It looks like its going to take an unbelievable amount of pressure to keep it from spinning...
I'm pretty sure I have the new tie rod end almost exactly where the old one used to be, but I was planning to have everything aligned at a garage just to make sure...
