Strut Rod Question
« on: January 17, 2011 - 10:47:17 PM »
Hey Guys!
I'm trying to torque my strut rod to the LCA but it keeps spinning. Do I nee to clamp the rod down in order to do this? I would assume that I do. I don't see any other way to do this. Your advice would be appreciated.

Maybe try tightening the other end first?
