Regarding the top-nut placed with a wire leaving you to wonder how he could have tightened the shock. I assume this was the shock by the driver on an E-series. If so, I came up with a reasonable solution.
As illustrated, I temporarily removed the two sharped-tip screws that provided two different access areas for my hand to the top of the shock. First to start threading the nut, then to hold the nut "fixed" with a wrench while tightening it up by turning the shock via an open-ended wrench on the top of the shock hex as seen.
Here you can better see the top of the shock with hex for an open-ended wrench.
