outer tie rod stud keeps spinning

[OrangeChicken123]

just replaced my inner tie rods... everything was fine until i tried to bolt on the outer tie rod,

problem: the stud on the outer tie rod keeps on spinning as i am trying to tighten.
Any solutions?

Should be able to use an open end wrench on the nut while using another on the bolt stud tip.

i tried using an open end while holden onto the stud with pliers but the castle nut isn't deep enough for me to do that, if thats what you meant.
