Shock Help Quick!

[MT1083]

I'm installing my Bilstein shocks now and the top nut won't torque down because the rod that is threads onto keeps spinning. The dust cover is already on and I don't see any way to tighten the top nut without the dust cover already on. How do I keep the rod from spinning so that I can torque down the nut? I need to have this done really quick. Thanks!

i had a friend hold the dust cover and shock with channel lock pliers....don't tighten too much. make sure to torque it to spec.

look at the top of the rod above the threads. it should either except a allen wrench in the top or will be elongated that you can put on a small screwdriver either 6 or 7mm.

I looked at the top and there is a place for a torx wrench. Thanks for the help!
