I loosened the nut holding the track rod end to the steering arm and the track rod end has now popped up about 1/2" from the steering arm. The nut is still in place. Despite lots of fiddling and swearing I am unable to get the track rod end to sit down properly on the steering arm again. I cannot
move the nut as it just spins the bolt it's on.

Is there a trick to getting the track rod end all the way down onto the steering arm before tightening the nut back up?

EDIT - people on another NG advised me to clamp the track rod end to the steering arm to stop the taper spinning while i tighten the nut up.
