How do you tighten the top strut nut to 57ftlbs. With the koni coilovers that have the adjustment tab on top?

The car is on the ground and I am trying to tighten it and it just spins the whole assembly. And I can't figure out anyway to hold the center and still turn the outer main nut.

Thanks

I put a socket over the hex portion just below the tab and while holding the nut with a wrench, spin the shaft using the socket. Socket is 11mm IIRC.

I use a O2 sensor crowsfoot to torque the nut while holding the shaft with a socket... I have done both my cars this way...

Crowsfoot is available at any part place... under $20

Thats what I was planning on doing but a socket does not fit on the top half.

It has two flat sides and two rounded sides, a 11mm socket is too small, and a 12mm is too big...
