Ok as you know I had all my springs/struts installed on friday, and I ****ed up my axle. I got that fixed today, and when I was driving it home, I hear a clunking noise coming from the rear. I get home and check it out. I apparently forgot to install the the stock rubber spacer things and I have a huge gap between the piston and the threads.

I was just wondering if you guys had an idea of how to get the piston nut off easily? When I turn it, the whole piston turns. I got it on with vise grips and an open end wrench, but that took forever. Also doing it this way, I had no way of torquing it, cuz the piston would keep spinning.

Please help =/

Oh BTW, am I supposed to use both of the rubber things? Cuz I cant seem to get thread if i have both of them on. And im using KYB dust boots, am I supposed to push the bump stop over the nub so that its on the piston, or am I supposed to leave it where it stays at the nub?

Oh boy. You hold it with a wrench. There is a special socket you can get that is the shape of the top of the piston. You hold the nut with an open wrench and turn with the special socket. Hope that makes sense.

Yeah I held the flat part with some vise grips, but I just dont see how to torque it that way.....
