rear Bilsteins how to tighten top nut?????

[kaz442]

Putting Bilsteins on my rig. Figured the fronts would be a pain so I did them first. When I got to the rears how do you tighten the top nut. The shaft turns as you turn the nut. The dust cover is flexible and not part of the shaft. If I could get an impact gun on them then I could just buzz them on but floor is right there.

Any DIY guys run into this?

Thanks JKaz

Good for you! Front's supposed to be the hard ones.

Got it. Pulled one back out looked into end of shaft and looks like some kind of torx bit. Tried a 5mm Allen wrench and if grabbed. Had to tighten with an open end wrench instead of a ratchet. But its done.
