I've always been really curious to find a spanish idiom to say "bite the bullet" but have failed so far, can anyone help me?

And morder la bala no vale¡

In Mexico, there is a popular phrase with a similar meaning, but I hope I don´t get flagged, because it is rather vulgar:

Morderse un huevo.

Another idiom in Mexico would be: Aguantarse como los meros machos. - LuisCache, May 12, 2011

To bite the bullet: aguantar una situación dolorosa o desagradable.

Have a look at this discussion on wordreference smile.
