I've replaced the rear shocks on my 2012 Explorer. Can someone suggest how I can tighten the top shock mount nut as required to 41 ft-lbs? I have the shocks installed. The top of the shock mount, threaded stud, has hex on top to supposedly hold it and keep the threaded stud from turning when tightening the nut. Hold do I hold this and simultaneously use my torque wrench to tighten the top mount nut? The nut is on the same threaded stud or shaft that has the hex on top. The space is very tight and I'm having trouble evening trying an open end wrench - but that doesn't allow me to verify torque. What am I missing?
Help appreciated.
Thanks, Ed
