Ah, that happened to one of my stock shocks when I first lowered it. I had to use a vice-grip to hold the piston rod while I bolted the top nut back on.
You're not supposed to do this though cause it might scratch the piston rod and it'll start leaking... however since it was the stock shock I didn't really care. I never had any problems with it anyway.
