Shock Bolt ?

Hey everyone
I just started to install my downey suspension last night and finished the front end but am stuck at the upper shock bolt. I am not sure if I am not doing something correct or if I am missing something.

I have the shocks bolted in at the bottom and I have the nut on top now to bolt down but it won't tighten. I see that the shock is turning as I try to tighten it. However, I don't see what part of the shock I have to grip in order to tighten the bolt.

Just some info: there Bilstein shocks and i am just using what was given to me in the package. I reused my through bolt and nut for the bottom and using the new nut for the top section.

Am I missing something or overlooking something?

Sorry for dumb question.

Steven

The top of the shock should be pinched for you to put an adjustable wrench on it.

Thanks guys! I ended up putting a hex key on top and then was able to tighten the nut.

Thanks again
