Installing outer tie rod ends 200 1981

To elaborate on Dave's answer -- the threaded pin that goes through the hole in the steering arm is a tapered fit. So you have to get the pin far enough into the taper that the interference keeps it from spinning as you tighten further. So, as Dave suggested - a jack to force it upwards or channel locks to squeeze the into the steering arm causes the tapered bore of the arm to grab the pin and hold it. You only need do this to get it started - once it 'grabs' you'll be able to torque it to the proper level. The tie rod sits under the arm - pin goes in from the bottom pointing up - nut goes on from the top.
