Hey guys,

I bought arnott’s spring conversion kit. Quick question I had to compress the front springs to replace with the new strut. I was able to swap it out only issue is to tighten the top spring bolt how do I tighten it down when the top spring mount plate is not flush? There is a solid inch below that I can’t get with a wrench. I bought a pass thru socket kit that seems like it will work but I can’t find out how to hold the top shock stem. I tried using a 8mm socket but it’s too big and 7mm is too small Any ideas?

Open end wrench... vise grips.
