Hello, some some of the track rods have a bit with a hexagonal cross-section which you can pop a spanner onto but failing that then I guess mole-grips would do it or I think I used a whopping pair of water-pump spanners for mine.

the answer to this problem if any one ever needs is to jack the track rod end up from the bottom

Thats the one! Aswell as clean the threads and lubricate.
