is there an easy way to tighten up the top screw of a strut with out the srtut turning???ive tried holding it but the strut keeps moving...i even tried holding the rod with channel locks and it still moves...its also leaving groves in the rod...what do i do?

 

i used a real long screw driver in the top of the strut where it is slotted and a wrench.

 

typically there is either a hex head on the piston rod for the strut, or even a groove.... take another good look, maybe a picture or two.. and figure it out

 

there isnt a slot in these struts though?

 

how about you take another look... and post a picture
your probably overlooking something like most people do

 

if you use an air gun you wont need to hold it

 

+1 use an impact wrech! easiest and quickest way.

 

thanks guys i got it...and the springs look great

 

nice oh yeah, and...
