Need help with tie rod bolt!

I replaced my front shocks the other day in my driveway and I can't get the tie rod nut back on. It just keeps spinning the tie rod at the joint.

I saw the DIY where it says to use the jack on top of the tie rod to apply pressure but it isn't working for me. any advise? what is the proper honda tech way to install this bolt?

Thanks.

CrazyCakes is an unknown quantity at this point
the bolt is tapered so when you apply pressure to the top it should stop spinning. maybee try tighting the jack down on it. when i did mine i didn't even do the jack thing it just threaded on like normal.

what he said. i just pulled down on it with my hands until it was tight. just put more pressure on it and it shouldn't move.
