Hey guys,

Installing rear bilstein 5100s right now. Only question is how do you properly torque the top nut? I know it only needs 15 foot pounds but I'm not sure how to do that with my torque wrench since the piston spins when you tighten it

Youre gonna gonna need a small wrench, or vise grips to hold the top shaft while you tighten. Use a crowfoot attachment on the torque wrench, or just feel it out by hand. 15ft/lbs isn't too hard to feel out.
