Tie rod ends
I'm replacing the the tie rod ends and went to take the nuts off and the whole nut and bolt spin. Any ideas how to get it off.

Either use a good air impact, or apply pressure on the tie rod to wedge the taper into the knuckle.

Another trick would be to take an angle grinder with a cut-off wheel attached and cut a slot in the end of the stud. Then hold with a screwdriver and use a wrench on the nut.
