At the very end of the rod you should notice a couple of 'flats'.  There is
actually a special socket that holds the rod from turning using those flats,
while allowing you to tighten the nut.

Or, you could do what most people do, use vice grips on the flats, or the rod
itself, to keep it from turning,
