Question...
You've just installed new front springs and struts and you put the top plate on. Everything is looking good and you install the strut/assembly with the four studs back in your car. My question... the center nut that holds the top plate to the strut... how the hell are you supposed to torque that nut down when the center part also spins with it?

We used 2 wrenches. One to fit the center point to hold it still. One to fit the center nut to crank it down. If you do not hold onto the center point, it will only spin.

What you're saying is use two wrenches. How do you torque the big nut to 46 ft-lbs with a box wrench?
