New shocks arrived today so I thought I would tackle the rear install tonight. Have one side off and the new shock on. My question is this. I have a 2wd crew cab and the rear have the bolt through the bottom and the piston rod top. When I try to tighten the top the piston rotates as I torque. I sure don't want to put pliers on the piston.

Suggestions on how to snug it up? I don't see a wrench point where the piston enters to tube so I am at loss on how to tighten anymore.

Thanks!

 

Check the end of the piston...Allen wrench may fit in, then tighten with open end wrench....

 

That is it exactly. You da man!!!!!


Thanks,
