WD40 does nothing for helping to loosen bolts, you wasted your time spraying it on :wink:
tie rod end you can use a small wrench on the bottom to hold the stud with while taking off the nut

Do you have the lift started up in where it should be? If so then just start pushing the CV back into the housing while pushing the knuckle back towards the body, I assume you only took the top ball joint aprt and not the bottom

maybe turn it just a little bit but it should go back in fairly easy

And the above posts are why I will not be attempting to put my lift on myself.

But good luck. :pepper:

You got to slam that CV back in as it has a c-clip on the end you need to compress and get through.


Put a 21mm wrench(box end) on the tie rod nut then put a 10mm 6-point socket and ratchet and put on the bottom of the tie rod stud.Hold the wrench and tighen the stud with the ratchet.If that does not work flip the ratchet to loosen and tighten the nut back up and soak with PB Blaster and wire brush the exposed stud threads and try again.You can also try and use a small pick to pry out the nylon on the end of the nut as that is what is keeping you from getting the nut off.

If you are putting the lift back together this is were the ratchet strap come into play.
