To be honest, I can't really remember! I think I used a deep well socket up top and gripped the dust covers by hand. Somehow I got them good and tight but it's been a while.
@@Matteo-xm6xo They're kind of a bitch to install with those screwed up nuts on the top dust cover. I'd check them out before you buy them. Bring some wrenches and see if the nuts are properly formed. The ones I have should never have got past Q.C. If they let something obvious like that slide, what else can they pass under the radar?
Well...um... That little flat spot at the top of the stud is what you're supposed to hold when turning the nut. Usually, air tools spin them on so fast they don't have a chance to spin the stud. Hand tools are a whole 'nuther story.
Yea I noticed that and I've used it on other shocks. No way to get at it with a normal wrench. Might could do with a drop wrench. The original shocks have a proper nut, or hex, thinger... that you can actually get with a wrench. Usually I use the air impact but the dang fenderwells are so tight on this thing I can hardly get my ratchet in there. Just ticks me off that the thing is there but useless. Shouldn't have even made it to where it gets put on the dust cover. Q.C. was sleeping on the job!
