#23659, "How in the hell...???"


          

How do I tighten a new self-locking nut on the rear strut/spring assembly without the shaft turning also? I can't figure it out. They are Tokico's and Eibach's. Oh... I did search... guess I don't know how to use it very well... PLEASE HELP!!! FAST!!!

Do not put any tool on the metal piston of the shock, it will void your warranty and destroy the oil seal.

Use an 8mm open end wrench (it might be a 6) instead of vice grips on the top of the shock to keep it from turning. Vice grips can chew it up.
