Suspension Pains!

Suspension Pains!
Today is my second day installing Illuminas. The front went on good. I only had minor setbacks. I'm now working on the rear and running into an anoying problem. Everytime I try to tighten the center bolt on the strut, the whole piston rotates. What am I doing wrong? I can't get it to the correct ft-lbs because of it turning. Oh, and because it's my first time I have to ask another dumb question. Does the more compact side of the high performance springs always sit at the top of the strut? I have Vogtlands. Thanks alot.

near the end, when it is getting tight, you should be able to use your torque wrench without the entire piston moving.
hope that helps
