Hi Guys,
 
I got 1 of the front struts installed today and when I went to tighten up the top shock absorber but it tightened it up a bit but then it just spins the shock shaft.
 
I have read that an impact driver is the way to go but I don't have one.
 
You could grab the shaft with mutigrips, with something to protect the shaft, but this would be difficult as the spring is in the way.
 
Any other ideas.
 
Here's some pics.
 
Cheers
 
Matt
 



 
 
 

Put the wheels on and drop it on the ground and then do the final tighten of the nut

Yep what TB303 said.
If it still spins then the mighty rattle gun to the rescue!
